2 SAMUEL 5:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.”
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David — Israel's longtime enemies react to David's full coronation. The Philistines perceive David as renewed threat and seek to strike preemptively. The military challenge represents the final test of David's kingship.
