Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
We noted earlier that the word rendered "garrison" is the same word also translated as prefect, commander, pillar or governor.  Some critics have used this to deny that Jonathan defeated a garrison, affirming that he assassinated the commander of the garrison.  It is noteworthy that the RSV retains the rendition "garrison," which was defeated by Jonathan and his one thousand soldiers.
