The rest of the soldiers he sent home

"He sent the rest of the soldiers home". Saul sent most of his army home before Jonathan attacked and defeated a Philistine garrison. This attack made the Philistines very angry, and they brought a huge army into Israel and camped at the top of a hill. Most of Saul's army ran away in fear and hid. Many details give the impression that Israel was unprepared for battle.
