Context — Two Victories over the Philistines

8When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them. 9Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.

10So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”

11So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim. 12There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.

1 Chronicles 14:10 Summary

This verse shows us that David was a man who sought God's guidance before making important decisions, and that God was willing to guide and empower him. David asked God if he should go up against the Philistines, and God told him to go, promising to deliver them into his hand. This teaches us to trust in God's power and promises, and to seek His guidance in our own lives, just as we see in Jeremiah 29:11, which says that God has plans to prosper us and give us hope. By following David's example, we can learn to trust in God's goodness and guidance, and to obey His will, even when faced with challenging circumstances.

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:10

(10) And David enquired of God.—How? Through the high priest Abiathar, who sought Divine direction by means of the Urim and Thummim, or sacred lots, which he carried in a pouch on his breast, which was fastened to the ephod, or priestly mantle. (See Exodus 28:30; Exodus 39:21; Leviticus 8:8; Numbers 27:21; 1 Samuel 14:18-19; 1 Samuel 14:37; 1 Samuel 14:41; 1 Samuel 23:9; 1 Samuel 28; 1 Samuel 30:7-8.) Against.—Samuel, “unto.” There should be a comma, not a query, at “Philistines;” the whole sentence forms but one question in the Hebrew. Samuel gives two distinct questions, disconnected from each other. The rest of the verse is abridged here. (Comp. Samuel.)
