1 Chronicles 14:13 In-Context

11 And he went up to Baal-Perazim, and David struck them there. And David said, "God has burst out against my enemies by my hand like waters burst out." Therefore they will call the name of this place Baal-Perazim.

12 And they abandoned their gods there. And David commanded, and they were burnt with fire.

13 Then the Philistines {carried out another raid} in the valley.

14 Then David inquired again of God. And God said to him, "You shall not go up after them. Go around from before them and come against them the opposite [way] of the balsam trees.

15 And it shall be [that] when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out into battle, for God goes out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines."
