Keesokan harinya Samuel bangun pagi-pagi benar untuk menemui Saul. Lalu diberitahukan kepada Samuel, “Saul telah datang ke Karmel, dan lihatlah, ia sedang menyiapkan bagi dirinya suatu tempat. Kemudian ia berbalik, melanjutkan perjalanan, dan turun ke Gilgal.”

The commandment to set up a place in which to defecate: That we were commanded that when our soldiers go out to war that we set up and designate a set place (see Tosefta Megillah 3:15) for the soldier, in which every man can go out to take care of his needs; so that their “needs” not be [found] in every place and between the lodgings, like the [other] peoples do (Sanhedrin 104b). And about this it is stated (Deuteronomy 23:13), “And there shall be a yad for you outside the camp, etc.” And the language of Sifrei is “A yad is always a place, as it states (I Samuel 15:12), ‘and behold, he established a yad.’”
