And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.
David acted exactly as the Lord had commanded him and struck the Philistines, driving them back from Gibeon to Gazer. His success came because he first sought divine direction and then obeyed it, making obedience the ground of victory. In thus seeking and following divine direction, his course stood in direct contrast to Saul, who chose his own way.
