1 Chronicles 14:8-16

8When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David; and David heard of it and went out against them. 9Now the Philistines had come and 1made a raid in the valley of Rephaim. 10David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will You give them into my hand?” Then the Lord said to him, “Go up, for I will give them into your hand.” 11So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David 2defeated them there; and David said, “God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters.” Therefore they named that place 3Baal-perazim. 12They abandoned their gods there; so David gave the order and they were burned with fire.

13The Philistines made 4yet another raid in the valley. 14David inquired again of God, and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them; circle around 5behind them and come at them in front of the 6balsam trees. 15It shall be when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God will have gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.” 16David did just as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines from 7Gibeon even as far as Gezer.
