Saul and two thousand men camped in Michmash and the hill country of Bethel while Jonathan defeated the Philistine garrison at Geba. The Israelites moved to Gilgal, while as many Philistines as there is sand on the shore encamped in Michmash, to the east of Beth-aven. (1 Samuel 13:2-17)
When Saul made his rash vow that cursed anyone who ate until evening, the people were faint but struck down Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon until they pounced on the spoil and ate with the blood. (1 Samuel 14:24-32)
