DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold. ¹⁸ And the Philistines coming spread themselves in the valley of Raphaim. ¹⁹ And David consulted the Lord, Saying: Shall I go up to the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David: Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thy hand. ²⁰ And David came to Baal Pharisim: and defeated them there, and he said, The Lord hath divided my enemies before me, as waters are divided. Therefore the name of the place was called Baal Pharisim. ²¹ And they left there their idols: which David and his men took away. ²² And the Philistines came up again and spread themselves into the valley of Raphaim. ²³ And David consulted the Lord: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? He answered: Go not up against them but fetch a compass behind them, and thou shalt come upon them over against the pear trees. ²⁴ And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou join battle: for then will the Lord go out before thy face to strike the army of the Philistines. ²⁵ And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer.
