1 Chronicles 14:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 14:15

(See Gill on 1 Chronicles 14:1).

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

13 And then the Philistines were back at it again, plundering in the valley.

14 David again prayed to God. God answered, "This time don't attack head-on; circle around and come at them out of the balsam grove.

15 When you hear a sound like shuffling feet in the tops of the balsams, attack; God will be two steps ahead of you, slaughtering the Philistines."

16 David did exactly as God commanded, slaughtering Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.

17 David was soon famous all over the place, far and near; and God put the fear of God into the godless nations.
