14 大卫又求问 神。 神说：“不要一直地上去，要转到他们后头，从桑林对面攻打他们。
And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn round them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.
15 你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音，就要出战，因为 神已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队。”
And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.
