2 Samuel 5:18-25
18Now the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 and overranH5203 1the ValleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 19So 2DavidH1732 inquiredH7592 of the LordH3068, sayingH559, “Shall I goH5927 upH5927 againstH413 the PhilistinesH6430? Will You handH5414H3027 them overH5414 to me?” And 3the LordH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “GoH5927 upH5927, for I will certainlyH5414 handH5414H3027 the PhilistinesH6430 overH5414 to you.” 20Then DavidH1732 cameH935 to 4Baal-perazimH1188 and 5defeatedH5221 them thereH8033; and he saidH559, “The LordH3068 has brokenH6555 throughH6555 my enemiesH340 beforeH6440 me like the breakthroughH6556 of watersH4325.” ThereforeH5921H3651 he namedH7121H8034 that placeH4725 6Baal-perazimH1188. 21And the Philistines abandonedH5800 their idolsH6091 thereH8033, so 7DavidH1732 and his menH376 carriedH5375 them away.
22Now 8the PhilistinesH6430 cameH5927 upH5927 onceH3254H5750 againH3254 and overranH5203 the ValleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 23So 9DavidH1732 inquiredH7592 of the LordH3068, but He saidH559, “You shall not goH5927 directly upH5927; circleH5437 aroundH5437 behindH310 them and comeH935 at them in frontH4136 of the baka-shrubsH1057. 24And it shall be, when 10you hearH8085 the soundH6963 of marchingH6807 in the topsH7218 of the baka-shrubsH1057, thenH227 you shall 11actH2782 promptlyH2782, for thenH227 12the LordH3068 will have goneH3318 outH3318 beforeH6440 you to strikeH5221 the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430.” 25Then DavidH1732 didH6213 soH3651, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 him; he struckH5221 andH5221 killedH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 from 1314GebaH1387 15as farH5704 as 16GezerH1507.
