17 When the Philistines eventually learned that Israel had anointed David to be king over Israel, they marched out in search of him. But David heard about it and retreated to his stronghold. 18 Meanwhile, the Philistines arrived and encamped in the Rephaim Valley, 19 so David asked the LORD, |Am I to go attack the Philistines? Will you give me victory over them?| |Go get them,| the LORD replied to David, |because I'm going to put the Philistines right into your hand!| 20 So David went to Baal-perazim and defeated them there. He called the place Baal-perazim, because he said, |Like a bursting flood, the LORD has jumped out in front of me to fight my enemies.| 2 Samuel 5:17-20, Intl. Standard Version.
