17 When the Philistines (immigrants) heard that David (beloved) had been anointed king over Israel (he wrestles with God), they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went down to the stronghold.

18 Now the Philistines (immigrants) had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

19 So David (beloved) inquired of the LORD {YHWH}, “Should I go up against the Philistines (immigrants)? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go up,” replied the LORD, “for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
