- Καὶ ἤκουσαν ἀλλόφυλοι ὅτι κέχρισται Δαυεὶδ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀνέβησαν πάντες οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ζητεῖν τὸν Δαυείδ· καὶ ἤκουσεν Δαυείδ, καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὴν περιοχήν.

Haydock's commentary
Seek, or attack David. He went out to meet them. (Par.[1 Paralipomenon xiv. 8.?]) But receiving an order not to join battle as yet, retired to Odollam, (chap. xxiii. 13., and 1 Paralipomenon xi. 15.; Calmet) a strong hold, with which he was perfectly acquainted. (Haydock)
