2 Samuel 5:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David. And when David heard, he went down to a fort.

¹⁸ But the Philistines came and spread themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.

¹⁹ Then David asked counsel of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up to the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hands?” And the LORD answered David, “Go up! For I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hands.”
