1 Chronicles 14:7-11

14:7 Elishama, Beeliada, ¹  and Eliphelet.

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
