8 But when the Philistims heard that Dauid was anointed King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid; when Dauid heard, he went out against them. 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. When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went out to meet them.
9 And the Philistims came, and spred them selues in the valley of Rephaim. Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim. Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim;
10 Then Dauid asked counsel at God, saying, Shall I goe vp against the Philistims, and wilt thou deliuer them into mine hande? And the Lorde saide vnto him, Goe vp: for I will deliuer them into thine hande. 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.” so David inquired of God: “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?” The LORD answered him, “Go, I will deliver them into your hands.”
11 So they came vp to Baal-perazim, and Dauid smote them there: and Dauid said, God hath deuided mine enemies with mine hande, as waters are deuided: therefore they called the name of that place, Baal-perazim. And he went up to Baal-perazim, and David struck them down there. And David said, “God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood.” Therefore the name of that place is called Baal-perazim. So David and his men went up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, God has broken out against my enemies by my hand.” So that place was called Baal Perazim.
12 And there they had left their gods: and Dauid said, Let them euen be burnt with fire. And they left their gods there, and David gave command, and they were burned. The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, and David gave orders to burn them in the fire.
13 Againe the Philistims came and spread them selues in the valley. And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley. Once more the Philistines raided the valley;
14 And when Dauid asked againe counsell at God, God said to him, Thou shalt not goe vp after them, but turne away from them, that thou mayest come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees. 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. so David inquired of God again, and God answered him, “Do not go directly after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the poplar trees.
15 And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then goe out to battel: for God is gone foorth before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims. 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.” As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.”
16 So Dauid did as God had commaunded him: and they smote the hoste of the Philistims from Gibeon euen to Gezer. And David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer. So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
17 And the fame of Dauid went out into all landes, and the Lorde brought the feare of him vpon all nations. And the fame of David went out into all lands, and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations. So David’s fame spread throughout every land, and the LORD made all the nations fear him.
