  2. Exposition

What does it mean for every man to flee to his home?

1 Samuel 4:10 (ESV)

10 So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and they fled, every man to his home. And there was a very great slaughter, for thirty thousand foot soldiers of Israel fell.

For every man to flee to his home does not simply indicate that men fled from the battle but that they abandoned any kind of fighting.1
