And the Philistines came up yet again<\/strong>,…. And, as Josephus says z, with an army three times larger than the former:<\/p>\n and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim<\/strong>; in the same place where they were before, 2Sa 5:20<\/span>.<\/p>\n z Antiqu. l. 7. c. 4. sect. 1.<\/p>\n (22) Came up yet again.<\/strong>As David had not followed up his victory (probably because he was not yet in condition to do so) the Philistines repeated their attack in the same place.<\/p>\n 22<\/strong>. <\/strong> Came up yet again <\/strong> Probably soon after the defeat just recorded. They were chagrined at the loss of their gods, and probably David had not followed up his victory. <\/p>\n Thou shalt not go up <\/strong> So as to meet and attack them face to face as before.<\/p>\n (22) And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. (23) And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. (24) And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. (25) And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Observe how variously God works. And observe also, how the Lord’s servants keep up their intercourse with heaven, by prayer. David still seeks to God: and God still answers him. Is there not somewhat which leads the mind to the contemplation of the Spirit’s work upon the heart, in this direction concerning the sound of a going in the mulberry trees? The Holy Ghost, in his descent upon the minds of the apostles, came down in the sound of a mighty rushing wind. And what is it now? The taking of the things of Jesus and showing them to the people. Depend upon it, reader! it is the work of the Holy Ghost, when at any time your heart is led to see and feel your need of Jesus; his fulness, and all-sufficiency to supply; and you are secretly inclined to come unto him. Draw me, (saith the Church) and we shall run after thee. Son 1:4<\/span> .<\/p>\n 2Sa 5:22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.<\/p>\n Ver. 22. And the Philistines came up yet again.<\/strong> ] They will have the other bout, though to their bane. No warning will serve obdurate hearts Cimon the Athenian triumphed over the Persians twice in one day. David shall do little less over these foolhardy Philistines.<\/p>\n came up: 1Ki 20:22, 1Ch 14:13 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 14:5 – Rephaims Jos 15:8 – valley of the giants Jos 17:15 – giants 2Sa 21:15 – the Philistines 2Sa 23:13 – the valley 1Ch 11:15 – in the Psa 84:6 – Baca Isa 17:5 – the valley<\/p>\n 2Sa 5:22-23. And spread themselves The expression intimates, that they were very numerous, and made a very formidable appearance. So we read, Rev 20:9, of the enemies of the church going up on the breadth of the earth. But the wider they spread themselves, the fairer mark they are for Gods arrows. And when David inquired of the Lord Though he had been successful before, yet he would attempt nothing further without Gods direction; to whom he knew he owed his former victory. He said, Thou shalt not go up That is, not directly, to fight in a pitched battle as before. So the following words explain it. But fetch a compass behind them Where they least expect thee. Gods purposes and promises do not exclude or render unnecessary mens endeavours.<\/p>\n 5:22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of {g} Rephaim.<\/p>\n (g) Meaning the valley of giants, which David called Baalperazim, because of his victory.<\/p>\n The second battle 5:22-25<\/span><\/p>\n This time, in response to David’s prayer, the Lord prescribed an attack from the rear (2Sa 5:23). The sound of marching in the treetops among which the Israelites took cover (wind?) would be the sign that the Lord was going before his army to strike the enemy (2Sa 5:24; cf. Act 2:2). The name "Gibeon" replaces "Geba" in the text in the parallel account of this battle (1Ch 14:16). Gibeon is probably correct. If David pursued the Philistines through the Aijalon valley, he probably went through Gibeon northwest of Jerusalem rather than Geba to the northeast. Gezer stood in the Shephelah 14 miles west of Gibeon on the Philistine border.<\/p>\n These victories cleared the Philistines from the hill country of Judah and Benjamin, and made it possible for David to establish a secure capital in Jerusalem. Had he not defeated them, his reign would have gotten off to a much weaker start. Saul had also begun his reign by defeating the Philistines (1 Samuel 7).<\/p>\n "In the present context 2Sa 5:17-25 depict two encounters between David and the Philistines, which apparently brought to an end the Philistine domination of Palestine (see also 2Sa 8:1). In view of the book as a whole, it seems that the war with the Philistines was more prolonged, but the editor had chosen only these two select illustrations to sketch the main<\/span> course of events. Perhaps, just as Israel had been defeated twice by the Philistines (1 Samuel 4, 31) so also the Philistines were twice routed by David."
