1 Chronicles 14:8-12 ▼

8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went up in search of David; and he heard about it and went out against them.

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

10 So David inquired of God, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will You hand them over to me?” Then the LORD said to him, “Go up, and I will hand them over to you.”

11 So Israel came up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated the Philistines there. Then David said, “God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters.” Therefore they named that place Baal-perazim.

12 The Philistines abandoned their gods (idols) there; so David gave a command and they were burned in a fire [as the Law of Moses required].
