You need to select several sections at the same time. Here's a procedure to do exactly what you want:
[1] Select "Section 1", for example by clicking on it on the node path bar. [2] *Add* "Section 2" to the selection by using Select|"Extend Selection to Following Sibling" (shortcut: Esc LeftArrow). [3] Use DocBook|Increase Section Level. Repeat with "Section 3" and "Section 4".
