8 Forsooth the Philistines heard that David was anointed king on all Israel, and [they] all ascended to seek (out) David, (to destroy him). And when David had heard this thing, he went out against them.
9 And [the] Philistines came, and were spread abroad in the valley of Rephaim;
10 and David counselled (with) the Lord, and said, Whether I shall go up to the Philistines? and whether thou shalt betake them into mine hands? And the Lord said to him, Go thou up, and I shall betake them into thine hand. (and David counselled with the Lord, and said, Should I go up against the Philistines? and shalt thou deliver them into my hands? And the Lord said to him, Go thou up, and I shall deliver them into thy hands.)
