I Samuel 7:5 And Samuel said: Gather all Israel to Masphath, that I may pray to the Lord for you.

Masphath lay south of Jerusalem, (Calmet) and was a convenient place for all to meet at. (Menochius) They came armed, and the Philistines (Calmet) suspecting their designs, proceeded to attack them. (Haydock)
