1 Chronicles 14:8-16

1 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 1 Chronicles 14:8 The first battle between David and the Philistines (vv. 1 Chronicles 14:8) may be a flashback to before David had conquered Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5:17, the source of 1 Chronicles 14:8, refers to “the stronghold,” possibly in Adullam, 1 Samuel 22:4). The time of the second battle is uncertain. David’s success against the Philistines cleared the way for the ark’s progress to Jerusalem.
