21 Israel and the Philistines took up their battle formations opposite each other.

1 Samuel 17:21 In-Context

19 They are with Saul and all the Israelite troops fighting the Philistines in the Elah Valley."
20 So David got up early in the morning, left someone in charge of the flock, and loaded up and left, just as his father Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp right when the army was taking up their battle formations and shouting the war cry.
21 Israel and the Philistines took up their battle formations opposite each other.
22 David left his things with an attendant and ran to the front line. When he arrived, he asked how his brothers were doing.
23 Right when David was speaking with them, Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath, came forward from the Philistine ranks and said the same things he had said before. David listened.
