Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

1 Chronicles 14:9

And the Philistines came. — Now the Philistines had come. The narrative goes back to 1 Chronicles 14:8 a. The invaders had approached by another road than usual, and encamped in the valley of Rephaim (1 Chronicles 11:15).

Spread themselves. — The chronicler has given an easier term than that used in Samuel.
