1 Chronicles 14:13 In-Context

11 So David and his men went up to Baal Perazim. There David won the battle over the Philistines. He said, "God has broken through against my enemies, just as water breaks through a dam." That's why the place was called Baal Perazim.

12 The Philistines had left the statues of their gods there. So David gave orders to burn them up.

13 Once more the Philistines attacked the people in the valley.

14 So David asked God for advice again. God answered him, "Do not go straight up. Instead, circle around them. Attack them in front of the balsam trees.

15 Listen for the sound of marching in the tops of the trees. Then move out to fight. The sound will mean that I have gone out in front of you. I will strike down the Philistine army."
