    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    The LORD sends David into battle by a sound of marching in the tops of balsam trees; the chapter tells what the sound means, but not what makes it.

    A palace, a household, and a kingdomvv. 1–7

    Hiram of Tyre sends cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters to David, and a palace rises into the chapter before David's household begins its own considerable extension. David takes more wives in Jerusalem and fathers sons and daughters, whose names are then given in a brisk, princely roll: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, and the rest.

    The trees give the signalvv. 8–17

    The Philistines come looking for David and raid the Valley of Rephaim. David asks God what to do, defeats them at Baal-perazim, and burns the gods they abandon. When the raid happens again, the answer is wonderfully specific: do not march up after them, but circle around, wait by the balsam trees, and move when the treetops sound like marching. David obeys; the army falls from Gibeon to Gezer, and his fame spreads through every land.

    12. 1 Chr 14:12There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.

    13. 1 Chr 14:13Once again the Philistines raided the valley.

    15. 1 Chr 14:15As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
