The Philistines Defeated

17 aNow when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it band went down to the stronghold.  
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.  
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.”  
25 And David did so, as the Lord commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from aGeba as far as bGezer.
