8 And the Philistines hearing that David was anointed king over all Israel, went all up to seek him: and David heard of it, and went out against them. 9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of Raphaim. 10 And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him: Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand. 11 And when they were come to Baalpharasim, David defeated them there, and he said: God hath divided my enemies by my hand, as waters are divided: and therefore the name of that place was called Baalpharasim. 12 And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they should be burnt. 1 Chronicles 14:8-12, Douay-Rheims Bible.
