Exegesis
The clause ki-yatsa ha-elohim lefanekha {כִּי־יָצָא הָאֱלֹהִים לְפָנֶיךָ | kî-yāṣāʾ hā ʾĕlōhîm lə-pānêḵā} forms a causal explanation that foregrounds divine initiative, and the infinitive lehakot {לְהַכּוֹת | lə-hak-kôt} governs et-machaneh pelishtim {אֶת־מַחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים | ʾet maḥănêh pəlišṭîm} “camp of the Philistines.” Hatshe’adah is rendered “sound of marching” to reflect its military context, and beka’im is translated “balsam trees” in alignment with verse 14.
Root and etymology
Rootaleph–lamed–heh
“mighty one”
In context — 1 Chronicles 14:15
And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.
