1 Chronicles 14:10-12
Wycliffe Bible
10 and David counselled (with) the Lord, and said, Whether I shall go up to the Philistines? and whether thou shalt betake them into mine hands? And the Lord said to him, Go thou up, and I shall betake them into thine hand. (and David counselled with the Lord, and said, Should I go up against the Philistines? and shalt thou deliver them into my hands? And the Lord said to him, Go thou up, and I shall deliver them into thy hands.)
11 And when the Philistines had gone up into Baalperazim, David smote them there (David struck them down there), and said, God hath parted mine enemies by mine hand, as waters be parted. And therefore the name of that place was called Baalperazim, (that is, the Lord of the Breakthrough);
12 and they left there their gods, which David commanded to be burnt. (and they left their gods there, which David commanded to be burned.)

New English Translation
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!” 11 So they marched against Baal Perazim and David defeated them there. David said, “Using me as his instrument,[a] God has burst out against my enemies like water bursts out.” So that place is called Baal Perazim.[b] 12 The Philistines left[c] their idols[d] there, so David ordered that they be burned.
