Philistines Defeated

When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. But David heard of it and went out against them.

Two Victories over the Philistines

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.

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.

And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

And David inquired of God, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Go up, and I will give them into your hand.”

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.

And he went up to Baal-perazim, and David struck them down there. And David said, “God has broken througha my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood.” Therefore the name of that place is called Baal-perazim.

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.

And they left their gods there, and David gave command, and they were burned.

And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

And when David again inquired of God, God said to him, “You shall not go up after them; go around and come against them opposite the balsam trees.

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.

And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.”

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.

And David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer.

David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

And the fame of David went out into all lands, and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.

And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
