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.
23 Therefore aDavid inquired of the Lord, and He said, “You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees.
24 And it shall be, when you ahear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then bthe Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
