Context — Two Victories over the Philistines
6Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
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.”Cross References

| 1 | 1 Samuel 21:11 | But the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David, the king of the land? Did they not sing about him in their dances, saying: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?” |
| 2 | Revelation 11:15–18 | Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.” And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: “We give thanks to You, O Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign. The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward Your servants the prophets, as well as the saints and those who fear Your name, both small and great— and to destroy those who destroy the earth.” |
| 3 | Psalms 2:1–6 | Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One: “Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.” The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them. Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury: “I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.” |

| 6 | 2 Samuel 5:17–25 | When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went down to the stronghold. Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand.” So David went to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, the LORD has burst out against my enemies before me.” So he called that place Baal-perazim. There the Philistines abandoned their idols, and David and his men carried them away. Once again the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. So David inquired of the LORD, who answered, “Do not march straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees. As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean that the LORD has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” So David did as the LORD had commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer. |
1 Chronicles 14:8 Summary
[This verse tells us that when the Philistines heard David was anointed king, they went to find him, but David was brave and went out to face them. This shows that David trusted God to protect him, just like it says in Psalm 23:4, 'Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.' David's trust in God is an example to us, reminding us that we can face our own challenges with courage and confidence when we trust in God's presence and protection (1 Chronicles 14:10).]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the Philistines go in search of David after he was anointed king over all Israel?
The Philistines likely sought to eliminate David as a threat to their power and control over the region, as seen in their previous conflicts with the Israelites (1 Samuel 17:1-58).
How did David learn about the Philistines' plan to search for him?
The Bible does not explicitly state how David learned of the Philistines' plan, but it is likely that he had scouts or spies who informed him of their movements, similar to how he inquired of God for guidance in 1 Chronicles 14:10.
What can we learn from David's decision to go out and face the Philistines?
David's decision to face the Philistines shows his trust in God and his willingness to take bold action in the face of adversity, as seen in Psalm 27:1-3, where David expresses his confidence in God's presence and protection.
How does this verse relate to the broader context of David's reign as king?
This verse marks the beginning of David's conflicts with the Philistines as king of all Israel, which is a significant theme throughout 1 Chronicles and 2 Samuel, highlighting David's military victories and his trust in God (2 Samuel 5:17-25, 8:1).
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I feel like I'm being 'sought after' by challenges or enemies, and how can I trust God to deliver me?
- How can I, like David, learn to trust God's guidance and protection in the face of uncertainty or danger?
- What are some ways I can 'go out and face' the challenges in my life, rather than hiding or running away from them?
- How can I balance bold action with wise discernment, seeking God's guidance before taking action, as David did in 1 Chronicles 14:10?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 14:8
And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them. All the Philistines went up to seek David.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:8
1 Chronicles 14:8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard [of it], and went out against them.Ver. 8. Went up to seek David.] But had soon enough of him; but God had a holy hand in all, to bring them to condign punishment for their late misusage of dead Saul and his sons; ascribing their successes to their gods, &c.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 14:8
II.—DAVID’S TWO OVER THE PHILIS TINES(1 Chronicles 14:8-16; 2 Samuel 5:17-25). Although placed here after the account of the palace building, this invasion must have occurred earlier in the reign of David, and probably soon after the storming of Jerusalem, a proof of capacity, which would rouse the Philistines to combined action against the new sovereign of Israel. (Comp. 1 Samuel 13) (8) David was anointed.—Samuel, “they had anointed David.” The verb in each case is mashah, from which is derived Mashȋ ?ah=Messiah. Over all Israel.—The word “all,” omitted in Samuel, contrasts David’s second election with his first as king of Judah only. To seek David.—With hostile intent. The verb is so used in 1 Samuel 26:2. Went out against them.—Literally, before them (1 Chronicles 12:17). Samuel has, “went down to the stronghold.” The term “stronghold” (mìçûdâh) designates the “castle of Zion” (1 Chronicles 11:5; 1 Chronicles 11:7), and also David’s old refuge, the rock and cave of Adullam, in the valley of Elah. The latter is probably intended here. As on former occasions, the Philistine forces were likely to choose the route through the valley of Elah (coýnp. 1 Samuel 18:1-2), and David “went down” from Zion “to meet them” there.
