And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

5:24 sound of a going. The word for “going” occurs only three times, twice in connection with this event (I Chronicles 14:15) and once translated “ornaments of the legs” (Isaiah 3:20). It seems to refer to the cadence of marching legs. To be heard in the treetops suggests that the sound would be made by God’s angelic hosts (note II Samuel 5:10), fulfilling the promise that “then shall the LORD go out before thee.”
