25 Jehovah will cause you to be defeated before your enemies.+ By one way you will go out against them, but by seven ways you will flee before them; and you must become a frightful object to all the earth’s kingdoms.+

6 And the men of Israel themselves saw that they were in sore straits,+ because the people were hard pressed; and the people went hiding themselves in the caves+ and the hollows and the crags and the vaults* and the waterpits.

7 When the men of Israel that were in the region of the low plain and that were in the region of the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons had died, then they began to leave the cities and flee,+ after which the Phi·lisʹtines came on in and took up dwelling in them.+
