Davidinquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will You give them into my hand?" Then the LORDsaid to him, "Go up, for I will give them into your hand."

When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David; and David heard of it and went out against them.

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will You give them into my hand?" Then the LORD said to him, "Go up, for I will give them into your hand."
11
So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there; and David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters." Therefore they named that place Baal-perazim.

They abandoned their gods there; so David gave the order and they were burned with fire.
