Videntes autem viri Isral qui erant trans vallem et trans Jordanem, quod fugissent viri Isralit, et quod mortuus esset Saul et filii ejus, reliquerunt civitates suas, et fugerunt: veneruntque Philisthiim, et habitaverunt ibi.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And which the men of Israel that [were] on the other side of the valley,.... The valley of Jezreel; of which
:-;
and [they] that [were] on the other side Jordan; or rather "on that side"; for the phrase will bear to be rendered either way, and so may mean that side of Jordan on which the battle was fought; for as for the other side, or that beyond it, the Israelites there could not be in such fear of the Philistines, nor do we ever read of their inhabiting any cities there; though as the phrase is used of the valley, as well as of the river, it may be rendered "about the valley, [and] about Jordan" g, and so describes such that dwelt near to each of them:
saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; that is, had information and intelligence of those facts, for it is not to be supposed they saw them with their eyes:
they forsook, the cities, and fled; fearing they should be put to the sword, or carried captive:
and the Philistines came and dwelt them; having nothing more to do than to come and take possession.
g בעבר העמק-בעבר הירדן "circa convellem illiam--circa Jordanem", Junius Tremellius, Picator so Noldius, p. 295. No. 936.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The men on the other side of the valley - This must mean to the north of the plain of Jezreel, and would comprise the tribe of Naphtali, and Zabulon, and probably Issachar. But the text of 1 Chronicles 10:7 has “that were in the valley,” limiting the statement to the inhabitants of the plain of Jezreel.
On the other side Jordan - This phrase most commonly means on the east of Jordan, the speaker being supposed to be on the west side. But it is also used of the west of Jordan, as here, if the text be sound.
The Philistines ... dwelt in them - One of the principal cities, Beth-shan, fell into their power at once 1 Samuel 31:10.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 31:7. The men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley — They appear to have been panic-struck, and therefore fled as far as they could out of the reach of the Philistines. As the Philistines possessed Beth-shan, situated near to Jordan, the people on the other side of that river, fearing for their safety, fled also.
