1 The Philistines assembled their army for battle. They were assembled at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.

2 Saul and the Israelis assembled and camped in the valley of Elah, where they set up their forces to meet the Philistines.

3 The Philistines were standing on the hill on one side while the Israelis were standing on the hill on the other side, with the valley between them.
