Two Victories over the Philistines

(2 Samuel 5:17–25)
8
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.
9
Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
10
So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?”Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”
11
So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.(c)
12
There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.
13
Once again the Philistines raided the valley.
14
So David again inquired of God, who answered him, “Do not march up after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.(d)
15
As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
16
So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
17
And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.

Two Victories over the Philistines

(2 Samuel 5:17–25)
8
When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
10
David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”
11
So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.(a)
12
They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.
13
The Philistines made another raid in the valley.
14
David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.
15
When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
16
David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17
The fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all nations.
