Where was Gilboa and why did the Israelites choose to gather there?

1 Samuel 28:4 (NEG79)

4 Les Philistins se rassemblèrent, et vinrent camper à Sunem; Saül rassembla tout Israël, et ils campèrent à Guilboa.

Mount Gilboa was located on the south side of the Jezreel Valley, opposite Shunem and about 16 kilometres away. Camping in Gilboa would allow Saul and his troops to observe the enemy forces and react accordingly.1
