1 Chronicles 14:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Reph′aim. ¹⁰ And David inquired of God, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Go up, and I will give them into your hand.” ¹¹ And he went up to Ba′al-pera′zim, and David defeated them there; and David said, “God has broken through^[a] my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood.” Therefore the name of that place is called Ba′al-pera′zim.^[b]
