2 Samuel 5:20

18 The Philistines also went and deployed themselves in ^athe Valley of Rephaim.

19 So David ^ainquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

20 So David went to ^aBaal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” Therefore he called the name of that place¹ Baal Perazim.

21 And they left their¹ images there, and David and his men ^acarried them away.

22 ^aThen the Philistines went up once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.
