2 Samuel 5:17-25

17When the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 that they had anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478, 1allH3605 the PhilistinesH6430 wentH5927 up to seekH1245 out DavidH1732; and when DavidH1732 heardH8085 of it, he wentH3381 downH3381 to the 2strongholdH4686. 18Now the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 and spreadH5203 themselves out in 3the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 19Then 4DavidH1732 inquiredH7592 of the LordH3068, sayingH559, “Shall I goH5927 up againstH413 the PhilistinesH6430? Will You giveH5414 them into my handH3027?” And 5the LordH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “GoH5927 up, for I will certainlyH5414 giveH5414 the PhilistinesH6430 into your handH3027.” 20So DavidH1732 cameH935 to 6Baal-perazimH1188 and 7defeatedH5221 them thereH8033; and he saidH559, “The LordH3068 has brokenH6555 throughH6555 my enemiesH340 beforeH6440 me like the breakthroughH6556 of watersH4325.” ThereforeH5921H3651 he namedH7121H8034 that placeH4725 8Baal-perazimH1188. 21They abandonedH5800 their idolsH6091 thereH8033, so 9DavidH1732 and his menH376 carriedH5375 them away.

22Now 10the PhilistinesH6430 cameH5927 up onceH3254H5750 againH3254 and spreadH5203 themselves out in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 23When 11DavidH1732 inquiredH7592 of the LordH3068, He saidH559, “You shall not goH5927 directly up; circleH5437 aroundH5437 behindH310 them and comeH935 at them in frontH4136 of the 12balsamH1057 treesH1057. 24It shall be, when 13you hearH8085 the soundH6963 of marchingH6807 in the topsH7218 of the 14balsamH1057 treesH1057, thenH227 you shall actH2782 promptlyH2782, for thenH227 15the LordH3068 will have goneH3318 out beforeH6440 you to strikeH5221 the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430.” 25Then DavidH1732 didH6213 soH3651, justH3512 as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 him, and struckH5221 downH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 from 1617GebaH1387 18as farH5704 as 19GezerH1507.
