10
And Davidenquired of God,saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORDsaid unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
11
So they came up to Baalperazim;[a] and Davidsmote them there. Then Davidsaid, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that placeBaalperazim.
12
And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13
And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14
Therefore Davidenquired again of God; and Godsaid unto him, Go not upafter them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
15
And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forthbefore thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
16
David therefore did as Godcommanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon[b] even to Gazer.
17
And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORDbrought the fear of him upon all nations.
