1Chronicles:14:8-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And 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 .
*
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim .
*
And David enquired of God ,
saying ,
Shall I go up against the Philistines ?
and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand ?
And the LORD said unto him ,
Go up ;
for I will deliver them into thine hand .
*
So they came up to Baalperazim ;
and David smote them there .
Then David said ,
God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters :
therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim .
*
And when they had left their gods there ,
David gave a commandment ,
and they were burned with fire .
*
And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley .
*
Therefore David enquired again of God ;
and God said unto him ,
Go not up after them ;
turn away from them ,
and come upon them over against the mulberry trees .
*
And it shall be ,
when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees ,
that then thou shalt go out to battle :
for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines .
*
David therefore did as God commanded him :
and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer .
*
And the fame of David went out into all lands ;
and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations .
