2 Samuel 5:17-25

17But when the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 that they had anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, all the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927 to seekH1245 DavidH1732; and DavidH1732 heardH8085 of it, and went downH3381 to the holdH4686. 18The PhilistinesH6430 also cameH935 and spreadH5203 themselves in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 19And DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 of YhwhH3068, sayingH559, Shall I go upH5927 to the PhilistinesH6430? wilt thou deliverH5414 them into mine handH3027? And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Go upH5927: for I will doubtlessH5414 deliverH5414 the PhilistinesH6430 into thine handH3027. 20And DavidH1732 cameH935 to Baal–perazimH1188, and DavidH1732 smoteH5221 them there, and saidH559, YhwhH3068 hath broken forthH6555 upon mine enemiesH341 beforeH6440 me, as the breachH6556 of watersH4325. Therefore he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 Baal–perazimH1188.1 21And there they leftH5800 their imagesH6091, and DavidH1732 and his menH582 burnedH5375 them.2

22And the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927 yet againH3254, and spreadH5203 themselves in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 23And when DavidH1732 enquiredH7592 of YhwhH3068, he saidH559, Thou shalt not go upH5927; but fetch a compassH5437 behindH310 them, and comeH935 upon them over againstH4136 the mulberry treesH1057. 24And let it be, when thou hearestH8085 the soundH6963 of a goingH6807 in the topsH7218 of the mulberry treesH1057, that then thou shalt bestirH2782 thyself: for then shall YhwhH3068 go outH3318 beforeH6440 thee, to smiteH5221 the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430. 25And DavidH1732 did soH6213, as YhwhH3068 had commandedH6680 him; and smoteH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 from GebaH1387 until thou comeH935 to GazerH1507.3
