1 Samuel 13:6
Compare all
4 Now all Israel heard it said that Saul had attacked a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel had also become1 an abomination to the Philistines. And the people were called together to Saul at Gilgal.  
5 Then the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel,1 thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and people aas the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. And they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of bBeth Aven.  
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger (for the people were distressed), then the people ahid in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in holes, and in pits.  
7 And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the aland of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.  
8 aThen he waited seven days, according to the time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.

1 Samuel 13:6

Strait - Notwithstanding their former presumption that if they had a king, they should be free from all such straits. And hereby God intended to teach them the vanity of confidence in men; and that they did not one jot less need the help of God now, than they did when they had no king. And probably they were the more discouraged, because they did not find Samuel with Saul. Sooner or later men will be made to see, that God and his prophets are their best friends.
