And
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.
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.
And
the Philistines came
and spread
themselves
in
the valley of Rephaim.
Now
the Philistines had
come
and raided
the Valley of Rephaim.
And
David inquired of God, saying,
Shall
I go up against the Philistines? And
wilt
thou
deliver them into mine
hand? And
the LORD said
unto
him
, Go
up;
for I will deliver them into thine
hand.
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. ”
So they
came
up to Baalperazim;
and David
smote
them
there.
Then
David
said, God hath
broken
in
upon
mine
enemies by mine
hand like
the
breaking
forth
of
waters:
therefore
they called the
name
of
that place Baalperazim
.
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
.
And
when
they
had
left
their gods there
, David
gave
a
commandment,
and they were
burned with
fire.
There
the
Philistines
abandoned
their gods, and David
ordered
that
they be
burned in
the
fire.
And
the Philistines yet
again
spread
themselves
abroad
in
the valley.
Once
again
the Philistines raided
the valley.
Therefore
David inquired
again of God ;
and
God
said
unto
him, Go
not up after them ;
turn
away
from
them
, and come
upon
them over
against
the mulberry
trees.
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.
And
it
shall
be,
when
thou
shalt
hear a
sound of going
in the tops of the mulberry
trees, that
then
thou
shalt
go
out to battle :
for
God is
gone
forth
before thee
to smite
the host
of the Philistines.
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. ”
David therefore
did as God commanded him :
and they smote
the host
of the Philistines from Gibeon even
to Gazer
.
So
David did as God had
commanded him ,
and they struck
down
the army
of the Philistines all
the
way
from Gibeon to Gezer
.
And the
fame of
David
went out into all
lands;
and the LORD brought
the
fear
of
him
upon
all nations.
And David’s
fame went out into every
land,
and the LORD caused
all nations to
fear
him
.
