And the Philistines gathered together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa — the two armies converge ('vayyaʿadu pᵉlišt vayyaqqîmû ʿen-šûnam') at a place of fatal confrontation. Saul's gathering ('vayya'askṣū ʾet-kol-yiśrāʾēl') represents his final mobilization, yet his fate is already sealed.
