2 Samuel 5:22-24

New Catholic Bible

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. ²⁴ When you hear the sound of marching in the top of the balsam trees, advance immediately, for then you will know that the Lord has gone forth ahead of you to strike down the army of the Philistines.”
