1 Chronicles 14:8-17
WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[8] When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them. [9] Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim. [10] David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? Yahweh said to him, Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand. [11] So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim. [12] They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire. [13] The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley. [14] David inquired again of God; and God said to him, You shall not go up after them: turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry trees. [15] It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God is gone out before you to strike the host of the Philistines. [16] David did as God commanded him: and they struck the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer. [17] The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
