1 Chronicles 14:13 In-Context

11 So they went up to Ba'al-P'ratzim, and David defeated them there. David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my power like a river breaking through its banks."This is why they called the place Ba'al-P'ratzim [Lord of breaking through].

12 The P'lishtim had left their gods there, so David gave an order, and they were burned up completely.

13 The P'lishtim came up again and raided the valley.

14 David consulted God again, but God told him, "Don't attack them! Turn away from them, and engage them opposite the balsam trees.

15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out, and attack; because God has gone out ahead of you to defeat the army of the P'lishtim."
