2 Samuel 5:19-25
19Then 1DavidH1732 inquiredH7592 of the LordH3068, sayingH559, “Shall I goH5927 up againstH413 the PhilistinesH6430? Will You giveH5414 them into my handH3027?” And 2the LordH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “GoH5927 up, for I will certainlyH5414 giveH5414 the PhilistinesH6430 into your handH3027.” 20So DavidH1732 cameH935 to 3Baal-perazimH1188 and 4defeatedH5221 them thereH8033; and he saidH559, “The LordH3068 has brokenH6555 throughH6555 my enemiesH340 beforeH6440 me like the breakthroughH6556 of watersH4325.” ThereforeH5921H3651 he namedH7121H8034 that placeH4725 5Baal-perazimH1188. 21They abandonedH5800 their idolsH6091 thereH8033, so 6DavidH1732 and his menH376 carriedH5375 them away.
22Now 7the PhilistinesH6430 cameH5927 up onceH3254H5750 againH3254 and spreadH5203 themselves out in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 23When 8DavidH1732 inquiredH7592 of the LordH3068, He saidH559, “You shall not goH5927 directly up; circleH5437 aroundH5437 behindH310 them and comeH935 at them in frontH4136 of the 9balsamH1057 treesH1057. 24It shall be, when 10you hearH8085 the soundH6963 of marchingH6807 in the topsH7218 of the 11balsamH1057 treesH1057, thenH227 you shall actH2782 promptlyH2782, for thenH227 12the 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 1314GebaH1387 15as farH5704 as 16GezerH1507.
