HIS VICTORIES OVER THE PHILISTINES. (Ch1 14:8-17)
all the Philistines went up to seek David--in the hope of accomplishing his ruin (for so the phrase is used, Sa1 23:15; Sa1 24:2-3) before his throne was consolidated. Their hostility arose, both from a belief that his patriotism would lead him, ere long, to wipe out the national dishonor at Gilboa, and by fear, that in any invasion of their country, his thorough knowledge of their weak points would give him superior advantages. They resolved, therefore, to surprise and crush him before he was fairly seated on his throne. |

2 Then Saul [07586] took [03947] three [07969] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] men [0376] out of all Israel [03478], and went [03212] to seek [01245] David [01732] and his men [0582] upon [06440] the rocks [06697] of the wild goats [03277].
3 And he came [0935] to the sheepcotes [01448] [06629] by the way [01870], where was a cave [04631]; and Saul [07586] went in [0935] to cover [05526] his feet [07272]: and David [01732] and his men [0582] remained [03427] in the sides [03411] of the cave [04631].
15 And David [01732] saw [07200] that Saul [07586] was come out [03318] to seek [01245] his life [05315]: and David [01732] was in the wilderness [04057] of Ziph [02128] in a wood [02793].
8 And when the Philistines [06430] heard [08085] that David [01732] was anointed [04886] king [04428] over all Israel [03478], all the Philistines [06430] went up [05927] to seek [01245] David [01732]. And David [01732] heard [08085] of it, and went out [03318] against [06440] them.
9 And the Philistines [06430] came [0935] and spread [06584] themselves in the valley [06010] of Rephaim [07497].
10 And David [01732] enquired [07592] of God [0430], saying [0559], Shall I go up [05927] against the Philistines [06430]? and wilt thou deliver [05414] them into mine hand [03027]? And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Go up [05927]; for I will deliver [05414] them into thine hand [03027].
11 So they came up [05927] to Baalperazim [01188]; and David [01732] smote [05221] them there. Then David [01732] said [0559], God [0430] hath broken in [06555] upon mine enemies [0341] by mine hand [03027] like the breaking forth [06556] of waters [04325]: therefore they called [07121] the name [08034] of that place [04725] Baalperazim [01188].
12 And when they had left [05800] their gods [0430] there, David [01732] gave a commandment [0559], and they were burned [08313] with fire [0784].
13 And the Philistines [06430] yet again [03254] spread themselves abroad [06584] in the valley [06010].
14 Therefore David [01732] enquired [07592] again of God [0430]; and God [0430] said [0559] unto him, Go not up [05927] after [0310] them; turn away [05437] from them, and come [0935] upon them over against [04136] the mulberry trees [01057].
15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear [08085] a sound [06963] of going [06807] in the tops [07218] of the mulberry trees [01057], that then thou shalt go out [03318] to battle [04421]: for God [0430] is gone forth [03318] before [06440] thee to smite [05221] the host [04264] of the Philistines [06430].
16 David [01732] therefore did [06213] as God [0430] commanded [06680] him: and they smote [05221] the host [04264] of the Philistines [06430] from Gibeon [01391] even to Gazer [01507].
17 And the fame [08034] of David [01732] went out [03318] into all lands [0776]; and the LORD [03068] brought [05414] the fear [06343] of him upon all nations [01471].
17 But when the Philistines [06430] heard [08085] that they had anointed [04886] David [01732] king [04428] over Israel [03478], all the Philistines [06430] came up [05927] to seek [01245] David [01732]; and David [01732] heard [08085] of it, and went down [03381] to the hold [04686].
