In Judges 4:14, Deborah says 'the Lord has gone out before you' — the exact phrase used here for David.

In 1 Samuel 14:9-22, Jonathan uses a sign (the Philistines' words) to attack; David uses a sound as a sign.

2 Samuel 5:24 is the identical account of this verse, recording the same instruction about the sound of marching.

Isaiah 13:4 describes the noise of a multitude as the Lord musters an army, echoing the sound of marching in the balsam trees as God's battle signal.

In Judges 7:9, God commands Gideon to attack because He has delivered the enemy, similar to David's command here.

In Judges 7:15, Gideon hears a sign (dream) and then declares the Lord has delivered; David hears a sign (sound) and goes.

In 2 Kings 19:7, God sends a rumor to make Sennacherib retreat; similar use of sound to defeat enemies.

Isaiah 45:1 says God goes before Cyrus his anointed, similar to God going before David here—both show divine leadership over anointed leaders.
