1 Chronicles 14:10

14:10 David asked God, “Should I march up against the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” The Lord said to him, “March up! I will hand them over to you!”

1 Chronicles 14:14

14:14 So David again asked God what he should do. ¹  This time ²  God told him, “Don’t march up after them; circle around them and come against them in front of the trees. ³ 

[14:14]  ¹ tn Heb “and David again asked God.”

[14:14]  ² tn The words “this time” are not in the Hebrew text.

[14:14]  ³ tn The Hebrew word translated “trees” is defined by HALOT 129 s.v. בָּכָא as “shrubs.” Some translate “balsam trees” (see BDB 113 s.v. בָּכָא), cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT.
