2 Samuel 5:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.

²² However, the Philistines made another invasion and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. ²³ Then David once again consulted the Lord, who said: “Do not attack them from the front. Rather, encircle them from the rear and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
