3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
3 The Philistines occupied one hill and the Israelites another, with the valley between them.
3 And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side, with a valley between them.
3 The Philistines were on one hill, the Israelites on the opposing hill, with the valley between them.
3 The Philistines stood on a mountain on one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with a valley between them.
3 So the Philistines and Israelites faced each other on opposite hills, with the valley between them.

Commentary on 1 Samuel 17:1-11
(Read 1 Samuel 17:1-11)
Men so entirely depend upon God in all things, that when he withdraws his help, the most valiant and resolute cannot find their hearts or hands, as daily experience shows.
