1 Chronicles 14:8

14:8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed ¹  king of all Israel, all the Philistines marched up to confront him. ²  When David heard about it, he marched out against ³  them.

1 Chronicles 21:3

21:3 Joab replied, “May the Lord make his army ⁴  a hundred times larger! My master, O king, do not all of them serve my master? Why does my master want to do this? Why bring judgment on Israel?” ⁵ 

[14:8]  ¹ tn Or “designated”; NCV “had been made king”; CEV “had become king.”

[14:8]  ² tn Heb “to seek David.”

[14:8]  ³ tn Heb “went out before.”

[21:3]  ⁴ tn Or “people.”

[21:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “Why should it become guilt for Israel?” David’s decision betrays an underlying trust in his own strength rather than in divine provision. See also 1 Chr 27:23-24.
