2 Samuel 5:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 5:22

And the Philistines came up yet again

and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim;
in the same place where they were before, ( 2 Samuel 5:20 ) .

2 Samuel 5:22 In-Context

20 venit ergo David in Baalpharasim et percussit eos ibi et dixit divisit Dominus inimicos meos coram me sicut dividuntur aquae propterea vocatum est nomen loci illius Baalpharasim

21 et reliquerunt ibi sculptilia sua quae tulit David et viri eius

22 et addiderunt adhuc Philisthim ut ascenderent et diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim

23 consuluit autem David Dominum qui respondit non ascendas sed gyra post tergum eorum et venies ad eos ex adverso pirorum

24 et cum audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pirorum tunc inibis proelium quia tunc egredietur Dominus ante faciem tuam ut percutiat castra Philisthim
