# 2 Samuel 5:24

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

— 2 Samuel 5:24, Berean Standard Bible

## When

- c. 1010-1003 BC (counted from the text)
- Date source: 2 Samuel 5:4-5 gives the length of the reign, not the year. The absolute years come from the chronology of the kings, anchored in 1 Kings 6:1.

## Who ruled

- **David**, king of Israel, 1010-970 BC · Source: 2 Samuel 5:4-5, which gives the length of the reign; the Tel Dan stele, which mentions the "house of David" (the oldest record of the name outside the Bible)
