("And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled, every man to his tent; and there was a very great slaughter, for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen" – I Samuel 4:10. Also: "What portion have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David! So all Israel went to their tents" – II Chronicles 10. Also: "And the camps of joy shall encamp in his heart, each man under his banner / and all the people returned, each man to his tent" – Immanuel the Roman (13th century) / The Inheritance. Also: "But the people did not scatter, each man to his tent; they stayed to celebrate the victory" – Bialik / Aryeh Ba’al Guf, 38. Also: "Since the quarrel, it was declared... that in this house 'every man to his own tent, Israel'" – H. Bar / Notzot, 71)
