Context of 1 Chronicles 14:11
9The Philistine soldiers arrived at Rephaim valley. They attacked the people there. 10David asked God, ‘Should I go and attack the Philistines? Will you put them under my power?’ The Lord answered him, ‘Yes, go and attack the Philistines. I will help you to win against them.’ So David and his men went to Baal Perazim. There they won the fight against the Philistines in that place. David said, ‘God has helped me to sweep away my enemy like a flood of water.’ So they called that place Baal Perazim. 12The Philistines did not take their idols with them when they ran away. David told his men to destroy the idols in a fire. 13Once again, the Philistines attacked the people who lived in the valley.
