This reflects the biblical principle of seeking divine wisdom (<a href="/james/1-5.htm">James 1:5</a>). David's inquiry demonstrates humility and dependence on God, a model for believers in decision-making (<a href="/proverbs/3-5.htm">Proverbs 3:5-6</a>).<p><b>“Should I go up against the Philistines?”</b><br>The Philistines were a persistent enemy of Israel, often representing opposition to God's people. This question shows David's strategic and spiritual approach to warfare, acknowledging God's sovereignty over military matters. The Philistines' presence in the land is a recurring theme, symbolizing spiritual battles believers face (<a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12</a>).<p><b>Will You deliver them into my hand?”</b><br>David's question reveals his faith in God's power to grant victory. The phrase "deliver them into my hand" indicates reliance on divine intervention rather than human strength. This echoes the biblical theme of God fighting for His people (<a href="/exodus/14-14.htm">Exodus 14:14</a>) and foreshadows Christ's ultimate victory over sin and death (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-57.htm">1 Corinthians 15:57</a>).<p><b>“Go,” replied the LORD</b><br>God's direct response to David underscores the importance of divine guidance. The assurance of God's presence and support is a recurring biblical promise (<a href="/joshua/1-9.htm">Joshua 1:9</a>). This command to "go" parallels the Great Commission (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>), where believers are sent with God's authority.<p><b>“for I will deliver them into your hand.”</b><br>The promise of victory is a testament to God's faithfulness and power. This assurance is reminiscent of God's promises to the patriarchs and leaders of Israel (<a href="/genesis/12-2.htm">Genesis 12:2-3</a>, <a href="/joshua/1-5.htm">Joshua 1:5</a>). It also typifies Christ's assurance of victory over spiritual enemies (<a href="/romans/8-37.htm">Romans 8:37</a>), encouraging believers to trust in God's deliverance.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The second king of Israel, known for his heart for God and his leadership.
