1 SAMUEL 13:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Beth–aven.”
And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the dust of the sea — the Philistine force is immense: thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, with soldiers as numerous as dust. The hyperbolic language ('ke'afar hayam, like the dust of the sea') emphasizes the overwhelming military superiority of the enemy.
