1 Samuel 11:11
The march from Bezek may have begun the night before. This disposition of the forces "in three companies" (imitating Gideon' s strategy, compare the marginal reference.) would not have been made until the morning when they were very near the Ammonitish forces. "The morning watch" was the last of the three watches, of four hours each, into which the night was anciently divided by the Hebrews. (See Judges 7:19 note.) The time thus indicated would be between two and six in the morning.
