| II Samuel 5:17 | And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold. | Seek, or attack David. He went out to meet them. (Par.[1 Paralipomenon 14:8.?]) But receiving an order not to join battle as yet, retired to Odollam, (chap. 23:13., and 1 Paralipomenon 11:15.; Calmet) a strong hold, with which he was perfectly acquainted.
