2 Samuel 5:17-25 But when the Philistines heard that the people had anointed David as king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went down to the strong-hold.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ But when the Philistines heard that the people had anointed David as king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went down to the strong-hold. ¹⁸ The Philistines also came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim. ¹⁹ And David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand. ²⁰ And David came to Ba’al-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken down my enemies before me, as a breach is made by water. Wherefore he called the name of that place Ba’al-perazim. ²¹ And they left behind there their idols, and David and his men burnt them. ²² And the Philistines came up once again, and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim. ²³ And when David asked counsel of the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but turn about and fall in the rear of them, and come upon them opposite to the mulberry-trees. ²⁴ And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the top of the mulberry-trees, that thou shalt then bestir thyself; for then will the Lord go out before thee, to smite in the camp of the Philistines. ²⁵ And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and he smote the Philistines from Geba’ until thou comest to Gezer.
