2 Samuel 5:22-25

22Now 1the Philistines came up once again and overran the Valley of Rephaim.

23So 2David inquired of the Lord, but He said, “You shall not go directly up; circle around behind them and come at them in front of the baka-shrubs.

24And it shall be, when 3you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the baka-shrubs, then you shall 4act promptly, for then 5the Lord will have gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

25Then David did so, just as the Lord had commanded him; he struck and killed the Philistines from 6 7Geba 8as far as 9Gezer.
