18 So the Philistines camped in Rephaim Valley.
19 David asked Jehovah: »Shall I attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?« Jehovah answered David: »Attack! I will certainly deliver the Philistines to you.«
20 David went to Baal Perazim and defeated the Philistines. He said: »Jehovah has overwhelmed my enemies in front of me like an overwhelming flood.« That is why that place is called Baal Perazim (Master of Breaking Through)
21 The Philistines left their idols there. David and his men carried them all away.
22 The Philistines again attacked and overran the valley of Rephaim.
23 Once again David consulted Jehovah. Jehovah answered David: »Do not attack them from here. Go around and get ready to attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.
24 »Attack when you hear the sound of marching in the treetops. I will be marching ahead of you to defeat the Philistine army.«
25 David did what Jehovah commanded. He drove the Philistines back from Geba all the way to Gezer.
