1Sa_31:7 And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

Ver. 7. That were on the other side of the valley,] i.e., On both sides of the place where the battle was fought.

And the Philistines came and dwelt in them.] They were not like Hannibal, of whom it is said that he knew how to get a victory, but not how to use it. These pursued the victory; and having slain Saul, they might have overrun the land, but that God raised up David to put a stop to their proceedings, and at length to subdue them to his dominion.
