And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, You shall not go after them; turn away from them, and you shall come upon them near the pear 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 you shall hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then you shall go into the battle: for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.

And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
