14:8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed 2 king of all Israel, all the Philistines marched up to confront him. 3 When David heard about it, he marched out against 4 them. 14:9 Now the Philistines had come and raided 5 the Valley of Rephaim. 14:10 David asked God, “Should I march up against the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” The Lord said to him, “March up! I will hand them over to you!” 14:11 So they marched against Baal Perazim and David defeated them there. David said, “Using me as his instrument, 6 God has burst out against my enemies like water bursts out.” So that place is called Baal Perazim. 7
