2 Samuel 5:18-22

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the valley of Rephaim. ¹⁹ David inquired of the Lord, ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?’ The Lord said to David, ‘Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.’ ²⁰ So David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. He said, ‘The Lord has burst forth against^[a] my enemies before me, like a bursting flood.’ Therefore that place is called Baal-perazim.^{[b] 21} The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.

²² Once again the Philistines came up, and were spread out in the valley of Rephaim.
