And when Saul numbered them at Bezek, there were 300,000 Israelites and 30,000 men of Judah.

So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and shouting the battle cry.

But you have no favor in the sight of the leaders.
