1 Samuel 14:20 - The Message

Saul immediately called his army together and they went straight to the battle. When they got there they found total confusion—Philistines swinging their swords wildly, killing each other. Hebrews who had earlier defected to the Philistine camp came back. They now wanted to be with Israel under Saul and Jonathan. Not only that, but when all the Israelites who had been hiding out in the backwoods of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were running for their lives, they came out and joined the chase. God saved Israel! What a day!    The fighting moved on to Beth Aven. The whole army was behind Saul now—ten thousand strong!—with the fighting scattering into all the towns throughout the hills of Ephraim.

1 Samuel 14:20 - Additional Comments

When Saul and his soldiers went to the Philistines, they found them fighting themselves. Only Jonathon and his armor bearer had been near the Philistines. They were causing their own destruction. Interesting that Saul had been causing his own destruction, and we are now seeing the Philistines do the same.
