1 Samuel 17:53
And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents. (1 Samuel 17:53)
They spoiled their tents.
Rather, “their camp.” When Israel pursued the foe, now scattering in all directions, they also probably devastated towns to the rear of the line of battle and killed many in addition to the Philistines at Socoh. Josephus (Antiquities vi. 9. 5) says they slew 30,000 and wounded twice as many more.
