The wording the King James uses in 1 Chronicles 14:15 is a little hard to understand. The KJV reads "And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines."
This verse is much easier to understand by doing a Bible comparison to see how other translations lay this verse out.
Below are a few comparisons that might be helpful:
ASV - "And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines."
HCSB - "When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then march out to battle, for God will have marched out ahead of you to attack the camp of the Philistines."
NIV - "As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army."
I hope this helps. "When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the trees" is much easier to understand than "When you hear a sound of going in the tops of the trees."
Thank you for your encouragement. May the Lord bless our nation in our time of need. Just wanted to add that we as saints are commanded to pray for those in authority, 1 Timothy 2: 1-5. May the Lord shine His face on you and your family. May we be a blessing unto others as the Lord has blessed us. Have a good evening.
Our leaders have always trusted in Satan, everything done under the sun is in the name of treachery. Who do you suppose brings the abomination of desolation to our boarders; they do. Don't put your faith in ungodly men, or be a slave to what someone else believes. Trust no man, and continually pray to God for spiritual gifts, and discernment.
Our current administration need to learn how to trust in the LORD. With the Pandemic, economic slow down, foreign affairs in shambles, and societal break down, our nation needs to find the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ quickly.
The exceeding exalting of the kingdom was beyond human capability. It made him to discern that it is none other than the LORD 's might and it was done for the sake of HIS beloved nation, Israel.
