Lalu timbullah kegentaran di perkemahan, di padang dan di antara seluruh rakyat. Juga pasukan pengawal dan penjarah-penjarah itu gentar, dan bumi gemetar, sehingga menjadi kegentaran yang dari Allah.
Maka jadilah suatu kegentaran dalam balatentara yang di padang itu, dan di antara segenap orang banyak, dan lagipun terkejutlah orang kawal negeri dan segala orang penjarah, bahkan, gemparlah seluruh negeri, karena ia itu menjadi suatu kegentaran dari pada Allah.

there was trembling: Joshua 2:9, Judges 7:21, 2 Kings 7:6, 2 Kings 7:7, Job 18:11, Psalms 14:5
the spoilers: 1 Samuel 13:17, 1 Samuel 13:23
the earth quaked: Exodus 19:18, Matthew 24:6, Matthew 27:50, Matthew 27:51
very great trembling: Heb. trembling of God, Genesis 35:5, Leviticus 26:36, Leviticus 26:37, 2 Samuel 5:24, Daniel 5:6, God will in some way or other direct the steps of those who acknowledge him in all their ways, and seek unto him for direction with full purpose of heart. Sometimes we find most comfort in that which is least our own doing, and into which we have been led by the unexpected, but well observed, turns of Providence.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And there was trembling in the host in the field,.... Belonging to Michmash, where the army lay encamped:
and among all the people; the inhabitants of Michmash, or that attended the army, and furnished them with provisions, trafficking with them; the common people, as distinguished from the soldiers:
the garrison; those that were in it, who did not sally out, but perceiving a great slaughter made of their outer scouts, were seized with a panic:
and the spoilers they also trembled; who had been about the country, ravaging and plundering it, and were returned with their booty; see
1 Samuel 13:17
and the earth quaked; the inhabitants of it thereabout, or the earth itself literally; a real earthquake was caused at the same time, which increased the terror:
so that it was a very great trembling; both with respect to the numbers that were affected with it throughout the camp and garrison, and the causes of it; the terrible apprehension they had of a large army just ready to rush upon them; the earth quaking and opening in various places, threatening to swallow them up; and perhaps suspicions of treachery among themselves, they consisting of various nations, and some among them Hebrews; hence they fell upon and slew one another, 1 Samuel 14:20, or "a trembling of God" u; either in the same sense to which we translate it, as cedars of God, flame of God, c. that is, large and great ones or which came from God; it was he that sent this trembling among them, struck their minds with fear and dread, so that they were in the utmost consternation, and knew not what to do, nor which way to take, and had no heart to oppose the enemy, and defend themselves.
u לחרדת אלהים "in trepidationem Dei", Montanus, Drusius, Vatablus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The earth quaked - This naturally increased the panic to the utmost. Compare 1 Samuel 7:10; Joshua 10:11; Psalms 114:4.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 14:15. There was trembling in the host — They were terrified and panic-struck; the people in general round about, those in the garrison, the spoilers, and the whole country, were struck with terror; the commotion was universal and most extraordinary. The trembling of the earth is probably not to be taken literally, but as a metaphor for a great commotion in the country, though God might have interposed in an extraordinary manner, and produced a real earthquake; but their being panic-struck was sufficient to produce all the requisite confusion and dismay.
