2 Samuel 5:22-24

Contemporary English Version

²² Some time later, the Philistines came back into the hill country and camped in Rephaim Valley. ²³ David asked the Lord what he should do, and the Lord answered:

Don't attack them from the front. Circle around behind and attack from among the balsam^[a] trees. ²⁴ Wait until you hear a sound in the treetops like marching troops. Then attack quickly! That sound will mean I have marched out ahead of you to fight the Philistine army.
