The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tanach: 1_Chronicles 14: 6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia;
1_Chronicles 14: 7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
1_Chronicles 14: 8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out to meet them.
1_Chronicles 14: 9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
1_Chronicles 14: 10 And David inquired of God, saying: 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?' And the LORD said unto him: 'Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.'
1_Chronicles 14: 11 So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said: 'God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters.' Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
1_Chronicles 14: 12 And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.
1_Chronicles 14: 13 And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
1_Chronicles 14: 14 And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him: 'Thou shalt not go up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.
