2 Samuel 5:18-22

18Now the Philistines had come and spread out [for battle] in the Valley of Rephaim.

19David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You hand them over to me?” And the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly hand them over to you.”

20So David came to Baal-perazim, and he defeated them there, and said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” So he named that place Baal-perazim (master of breakthroughs).

21The Philistines abandoned their [pagan] idols there, so David and his men took them away [to be burned].

22The Philistines came up once again and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
