1 Chronicles 14:17

David
FearGod's power and sovereignty

15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”

16 So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.

And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.
