Contextual Overview
1Now in those days the Philistines gathered their forces for warfare against Israel. So Achish said to David, "You must understand that you and your men will accompany me in the army." 2David replied, "Then you will come to know what your servant can do." "Very well," said Achish. "I will make you my bodyguard for life." 3Now by this time Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land. 4The Philistines came together and camped at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and camped at Gilboa. 5When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid and trembled violently.6He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines,.... From the mountains of Gilboa, where he had pitched his camp:
he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled; on sight of the numbers of them, and thinking perhaps of the death of Samuel, and of the loss of David; who was now among the Philistines, and might possibly fight against him, and for the Philistines, of which he might be informed; however, he was not with him, and his conscience might accuse him of various sins he had been guilty of, for which he might fear the Lord would now reckon with him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 28:5. When Saul saw — He saw from the superiority of his enemies, from the state of his army, and especially from his own state towards God, that he had every thing to fear.
