2 Samuel 5:18-21

18Now the Philistines came and spread themselves out in 1the valley of Rephaim. 19Then 2David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You give them into my hand?” And 3the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.” 20So David came to 4Baal-perazim and 5defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me like the breakthrough of waters.” Therefore he named that place 6Baal-perazim. 21They abandoned their idols there, so 7David and his men carried them away.
