Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 14:16

"And David did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer." — 1 Chronicles 14:16 (ASV)

David therefore. — And David did. Samuel adds so.

And they smote the host (camp).—Samuel, and he smote the Philistines. (Compare to 1 Chronicles 14:11).

From Gibeon. —The present Hebrew text of Samuel has Geba. The Septuagint agrees with Chronicles in reading Gibeon, but the Targum, Syriac, and Arabic read Geba. Gibeon lay about six miles north-west of Jerusalem, between the valley of Rephaim and Gezer. Isaiah 28:21 supports this reading.

Even to Gazer (or Gezer).—Gazer is the so-called pausal form. Compare to Pharez (Perez) and Japhet (Yepheth). The text of Samuel has, until thou come to Gezer; the Chronicles, even unto Gezer-ward. (1 Kings 9:15–17).
