John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
1 Samuel 14:11
And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison
of
the Philistines
They passed over the valley that lay between Michmash and Gibeah,
and presented themselves at the bottom of the hill or rock on
which the garrison was, to the open view of it; and who might
easily discern who they were, that they were Hebrews, as they
did, as follows:
and the Philistines said, behold, the Hebrews came forth
out of the
holes where they had hid themselves,
being in want of provisions, and almost starved, and so obliged
to come out to seek for sustenance; see ( 1 Samuel
14:6 ) .
