1 Chronicles 14:11 In-Context

9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
10 David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will You give them into my hand?" Then the LORD said to him, "Go up, for I will give them into your hand."
11 So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there; and David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters." Therefore they named that place Baal-perazim.
12 They abandoned their gods there; so David gave the order and they were burned with fire.
13 The Philistines made yet another raid in the valley.
