David defeats the Philistines
1 Chronicles 14:8-17
8The Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it and went out before them. 9The Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim. 10David inquired of Elohim, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” YHWH said to him, “Go up, and I will give them into your hand.” 11They went up to Baal-perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, “Elohim has made a breach in my enemies by my hand, like a breach of waters.” Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim. 12They abandoned there their gods, and David gave the order, and they were burned with fire. 13Once more the Philistines made a raid in the valley. 14David inquired again of Elohim, and Elohim said to him, “You shall not go up after them; circle around away from them and come at them opposite the balsam trees. 15And it will be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go out to war, for Elohim will have gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” 16David did as Elohim had commanded him, and they struck the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer. 17The name of David went out into all the lands, and YHWH put the dread of him on all the nations.
17When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David as king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it and went down to the stronghold. 18Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. 19David inquired of YHWH, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” YHWH said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.” 20David came to Baal-perazim, and David struck them there; and he said, “YHWH has made a breach in my enemies before me, like a breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim. 21They abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them away. 22The Philistines came up yet again and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. 23David inquired of YHWH, and he said, “You shall not go up; circle around behind them and come at them opposite the balsam trees. 24And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then act decisively, for then YHWH will have gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” 25David did so, as YHWH had commanded him, and he struck the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer.
10David inquired of Elohim, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” YHWH said to him, “Go up, and I will give them into your hand.”
