Why did Saul think someone had left them?

1 Samuel 14:17 (ESV)

17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count and see who has gone from us.” And when they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not there.

Saul presumed that the Philistines were reacting to something done by one of his men and he wanted to find out who was responsible.
