Die Philister sammelten ihre Truppen zum Kampf. Sie versammelten sich bei Socho in Juda und errichteten ihr Lager in Efes-Dammim, zwischen Socho und Aseka.

Die beiden Heere standen sich auf zwei Bergen gegenüber: auf der einen Seite die Philister, auf der anderen die Israeliten. Zwischen ihnen lag das Tal.
