2 Samuel 5:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 5:25

And David did so as the Lord commanded him
In all things he was obedient to the command of God; Saul was not: he got behind the army of the Philistines, as he was directed; and when he heard the sound in the mulberry trees, he arose and fell upon his enemies:

and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer;
or from Gibeon, as in ( 1 Chronicles 14:16 ) ; a city in the tribe of Benjamin, near to which this battle was fought, and where the pursuit began, which was carried as far as Gazer, a city that lay on the borders of the Philistines, as Josephus says ^F2; and so far they were pursued, and were smitten as they fled; and, according to Bunting ^F3, it was a space of eighteen miles.

2 Samuel 5:25 In-Context

23 De nuevo David le preguntó al Señor
qué debía hacer. «No los ataques de frente —le contestó el Señor
—. En cambio, rodéalos y, cerca de los álamos,
atácalos por la retaguardia.

24 Cuando oigas un sonido como de pies que marchan en las copas de los álamos, ¡mantente alerta! Esa será la señal de que el Señor
va delante de ti para herir de muerte al ejército filisteo».

25 Entonces David hizo lo que el Señor
le ordenó e hirió de muerte a los filisteos desde Gabaón
hasta Gezer.
