8 When the Philistines learned that David had been anointed king over all of Israel, all of the Philistines invaded to look for David. David heard about it and went out to fight 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 Meanwhile, the Philistines had invaded and raided the Rephaim Valley. 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 So David asked God, |Am I to go out against the Philistines? Will you give me victory over them?| |Go out,| the LORD replied to him, |and I'll put them right into your hand.| 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 David went out to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. David observed, |Like an overwhelming flood, God has overwhelmed my enemies, using me to do it.| That's why that place is called 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 The Philistines abandoned their gods there, so David ordered that their idols be incinerated. 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 Later the Philistines invaded the Rephaim Valley again. And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley. Once more the Philistines raided the valley;
14 When David asked God about it, God told him, |Don't directly attack them. Instead, go around them and come up against them opposite those balsam 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 When you hear the sound of marching coming from the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle, because God will have gone out ahead of you to destroy the Philistine army.| 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 David did just as God had ordered, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon 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 Then David's reputation spread through all of the neighboring countries, and the LORD caused all nations to be afraid of David. 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.
