When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all marched up to find him. David heard this and went out to confront them.

The Philistines had invaded and were plundering the Rephaim Valley.

David asked God for advice: "Should I attack the Philistines, and will you hand them over to me?" The LORD answered, "Attack them, and I'll definitely hand them over to you."

So they marched up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. "By my strength," David exclaimed, "God has burst out against my enemies, the way water bursts out." That's why the place is called Baal-perazim.
