Contextual Overview
15 Then Sh'mu'el left Gilgal and went up to Giv‘at-Binyamin. Sha'ul counted how many were still there with him, about 600 men. 16 Sha'ul, Y'honatan his son and the men with him took up quarters at Giv‘at-Binyamin, while the P'lishtim remained in camp at Mikhmas. 17 Then raiding parties began coming out from the camp of the P'lishtim, three of them: one group turned toward the road leading to ‘Ofrah in the territory of Shu‘al; 18 another group took the road toward Beit-Horon; and another company took the road toward the desert through the territory overlooking Vadi Tzvo‘im. 19 Now there was no metalsmith to be found anywhere in all the land of Isra'el, because the P'lishtim had said, "We don't want the Hebrews making themselves swords or spears." 20 So whenever any of the people of Isra'el wanted to sharpen his hoe, plowshare, axe or pick, he had to go down to the P'lishtim, 21 where the exorbitant prices were two-thirds of a shekel for filing a pick or plowshare and one-third of a shekel for filing an axe or setting an oxgoad in its handle. 22 Thus when the time came to fight, no one in the army of Sha'ul and Y'honatan was equipped with either sword or spear; although Sha'ul and Y'honatan his son did have them. 23 A garrison of the P'lishtim had gone out to the pass of Mikhmas.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Saul, and Jonathan his son,.... Who were now joined to their men, on Saul's coming to Gibeah:
and the people that were present with them; the six hundred men before numbered: abode in Gibeah of Benjamin; being perhaps a strong fortified place, not choosing to go forth to meet the army of the Philistines, so vastly superior to them:
but the Philistines encamped at Michmash; the old quarters of Saul before he went to Gilgal, 1 Samuel 13:2.
