2 Samuel 5:17-21

New King James Version

The Philistines Defeated^(A)

^17 (B)Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it ^(C)and went down to the stronghold. ¹⁸ The Philistines also went and deployed themselves in ^(D)the Valley of Rephaim. ¹⁹ So David ^(E)inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?”

And the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

²⁰ So David went to ^(F)Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water.” Therefore he called the name of that place ^[a]Baal Perazim. ²¹ And they left their ^[b]images there, and David and his men ^(G)carried them away.
