And David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of the Philistines, slaying them from Gabaon to Gazera.

And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;

And David did as the Lord had said; and they overcame the army of the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon as far as Gezer.

Therefore, David did just as God had instructed him. And he struck down the army of the Philistines, from Gibeon as far as Gazera.
