The Philistines Defeated
8 Now when the Philistines heard that aDavid had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went out against them.
9 Then the Philistines went and made a raid aon the Valley of Rephaim.
10 And David ainquired 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 went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, “God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water.” Therefore they called the name of that place1 Baal Perazim.
12 And when they left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
