“And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)”
The Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have been there to this day — A narrative aside notes that Beerothites fled, becoming expatriates. This detail establishes the instability of Saul's remaining territory. The flight of populations indicates that Ish-bosheth's rule is viewed as unsustainable.
