Read 1 Samuel 13.15b-22. These verses set the stage for the battle account in the next chapter. Geba and Michmash (v.16) were across from each other on opposite sides of a valley.

The Philistines also controlled the Israelites by maintaining a monopoly on iron working (vv. 19-22). Comments or Questions..
