“David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer. And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.”
1 Chronicles 14:16-17 KJV
David did exactly as God commanded, slaughtering Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer. David was soon famous all over the place, far and near; and God put the fear of God into the godless nations. Because David chose to obey God and did exactly as God commanded him to, so YHWH made him famous and victorious. The Son of David showed by example that even though He was a wonderful Son, He learned to listen and obey through all His sufferings. And after being proven perfect in this way He has now become the source of eternal salvation to all those who listen to Him and obey. Because of that obedience, God exalted Jesus and multiplied His greatness! He has now been given the greatest Name of all names! Scripture has subjected the whole world to sin’s power so that the faithful obedience of Jesus the Anointed might extend God’s promises to everyone who has faith. Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. Amen!
