The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:9
Spread themselves . The root, פָשַׁט appears here for the נָטַש of the parallel place. So also again in 1 Chronicles 14:13 of this chapter. In the valley of Rephaim; i.e. of giants, though some translate "healers," and yet others "chiefs." Though not Canaanites, they once held portions of Canaan. Their origin is very uncertain. Kalisch thinks they were descendants of Japheth ( Genesis 14:5 ; Genesis 15:20 ; Deuteronomy 2:9-11 ; Deuteronomy 3:11 ). The "valley" was south of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:10
David inquired of God . The "inquiring" was made, as matter of course, through the high priest, and not merely, as we should say, in private prayer ( 1:1 , 1:3 ; 20:23 , 20:27 ; 1 Samuel 23:2 , 1 Samuel 23:4 ; 1 Samuel 30:8 ; 2 Samuel 2:1 ). The directness of the Divine answer was some echo of the old reply when Judah was authorized to go up against the Canaanites ( 1:2 ). read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 14:8-17
This narrative of David's triumph over the Philistines is much the same with that, 2 Sam. 5:17-25 1. Let the attack which the Philistines made upon David forbid us to be secure in any settlement or advancement, and engage us to expect molestation in this world. When we are most easy something or other may come to be a terror or vexation to us. Christ's kingdom will thus be insulted by the serpent's seed, especially when it makes any advances. 2. Let David's enquiry of God, once and again, upon... read more
