New Testament

1 Chronicles 14:14-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

14. And again, David consulted God. And God said to him: "You shall not ascend after them. Draw away from them. And you shall come against them opposite the balsam trees.

15. And when you hear a sound approaching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go forth to war. For God has gone forth before you, so that he may strike down the army of the Philistines."

16. Therefore, David did just as God had instructed him. And he struck down the army of the Philistines, from Gibeon as far as Gazera.

17. And the name of David became well-known in all the regions. And the Lord placed the fear of him over all the nations.
