2 Samuel 5:22-25 - Once more the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim; so David inquired of the LORD, and he answered, "Do not go straight up, but circle around behind them in front of the balsam trees. As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because that will mean the LORD has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army." So David did as the LORD commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
I wonder if the LORD used some natural sound that can be made by balsam trees to sound like marching troops or if it was something more miraculous.
I wonder why he used the marching sound as a sign to attack. Did that mean something else was happening at the same time (other than the LORD himself preparing the way somehow)?
