8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king of Israel, all of them came to attack David. But David heard about it and went out to meet them. 9 The Philistines had come and raided the valley of Rephaim. 10 David asked God, |Should I attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?| The LORD answered him, |Attack! I will hand them over to you.| 11 So David [and his men] attacked and defeated the Philistines at Baal Perazim. David said, |Using my power like an overwhelming flood, God has overwhelmed my enemies.| That is why they call that place Baal Perazim [The Lord Overwhelms]. 12 The Philistines left their gods there, so David ordered that the gods be burned. 1 Chronicles 14:8-12, God's Word Translation.
