2 Samuel 5:25

And David did so as the Lord commanded him ,.... In all things he was obedient to the command of God; Saul was not: he got behind the army of the Philistines, as he was directed; and when he heard the sound in the mulberry trees, he arose and fell upon his enemies:

and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer ; or from Gibeon, as in 1 Chronicles 14:16 ; a city in the tribe of Benjamin, near to which this battle was fought, and where the pursuit began, which was carried as far as Gazer, a city that lay on the borders of the Philistines, as Josephus says F2 Antiqu. l. 7. c. 4. sect. 1. ; and so far they were pursued, and were smitten as they fled; and, according to Bunting F3 Travels, &c.; p. 138. , it was a space of eighteen miles.
