1. Now the Philistines fought against Israel —In a regular engagement, in which the two armies met ( 1 Samuel 28:1-4 ), the Israelites were forced to give way, being annoyed by the arrows of the enemy, which, destroying them at a distance before they came to close combat, threw them into panic and disorder. Taking advantage of the heights of Mount Gilboa, [the Israelites] attempted to rally, but in vain. Saul and his sons fought like heroes; but the onset of the Philistines being at length mainly directed against the quarter where they were, Jonathan and two brothers, Abinadab or Ishui ( 1 Samuel 28:1-9.28.4- : ) and Melchishua, overpowered by numbers, were killed on the spot. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
