“And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.”
When the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said: What does this great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews mean? And when they learned that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp—the Philistines recognize the *aron YHWH*, the divine instrument. Their fear is natural; they have witnessed the LORD's power before (cf. Exodus 12–14).
