Contextual Overview

¹ The Philistines gathered their armies for war. They met at Socoh in Judah and camped at Ephes Dammim between Socoh and Azekah. ² Saul and the Israelites gathered in the Valley of Elah and camped there and took their positions to fight the Philistines. ³ The Philistines controlled one hill while the Israelites controlled another. The valley was between them. ⁴ The Philistines had a champion fighter from Gath named Goliath. He was about nine feet, four inches tall. He came out of the Philistine camp ⁵ with a bronze helmet on his head and a coat of bronze armor that weighed about one hundred twenty-five pounds. ⁶ He wore bronze protectors on his legs, and he had a bronze spear on his back. ⁷ The wooden part of his larger spear was like a weaver's rod, and its blade weighed about fifteen pounds. The officer who carried his shield walked in front of him. ⁸ Goliath stood and shouted to the Israelite soldiers, "Why have you taken positions for battle? I am a Philistine, and you are Saul's servants! Choose a man and send him to fight me. ⁹ If he can fight and kill me, we will be your servants. But if I can kill him, you will be our servants." ¹⁰ Then he said, "Today I stand and dare the army of Israel! Send one of your men to fight me!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, e.] Before the Israelites are said to encamp in or by the valley but here they are said to take the higher ground, and face the Philistines, who were on a mountain or hill on the other side over against them, which Kimchi reconciles thus; the whole or the grand army lay encamped in the valley, and, they that were set in array, or the first ranks, the first battalion, ascended the mountain to meet the Philistines. Vatablus takes it to be the same mountain, that on one part of it the Philistines formed their first battalion, and the rest of the army was in the valley; and on the other part of the mountain the Israelites pitched their camp:

and there was a valley between them; the same as in the preceding verse.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

(In the middle of the broad open valley 1 Samuel 17:2 is a deep trench 1 Samuel 17:3 with vertical sides, a valley within a valley: the sides and bed of the trench are strewn with water-worn pebbles. (Conder.))

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 17:3. The Philistines stood on a mountain — These were two eminences or hills, from which they could see and talk with each other.
