And[R.V. Now] the peoplewere encamped against Gibbethon The LXX. explains -the people" by ἡ παρεμβολὴ = the camp. It was, of course, only the army and camp-followers who were away in the land of the Philistines. Apparently the attempt to wrest Gibbethon from the Philistines had continued from the time of Nadab.
