Toen nu de Filistijnen het geschreeuw van dit juichen hoorden, spraken zij: Wat is dat voor een geschreeuw van zulk groot gejuich in het leger der Hebren? En toen zij vernamen, dat de ark des Heren in het leger gekomen was,
Als nu de Filistijnen de stem van het juichen hoorden, zo zeiden zij: Wat is de stem van dit grote juichen in het leger der Hebreen? Toen vernamen zij, dat de ark des HEEREN in het leger gekomen was.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout,.... For it being so loud as to make the earth ring, it was heard in the camp of the Philistines, which might not be at any great distance from the camp of Israel; how far from each other were Aphek and Ebenezer is not certain;
they said, what meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? they could not conceive what should be the reason of it, seeing they had no occasion to shout for joy, having been lately defeated; and a shout is made generally just before a battle is begun, and the onset made, or when victory is obtained; neither of which was the case now:
and they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp: this they understood by spies, which they sent to find out the meaning of the shout; which is more probable than that they came to the knowledge of it by deserters; seeing it is not very likely that any Israelites would desert to the Philistines.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Of the Hebrews - This was the name by which the Israelites were known to foreign nations (compare Exodus 1:15; Exodus 2:6).
