1 Chronicles 14:12-17

12 They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.

13 The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

14 David inquired again of God; and God said to him, You shall not go up after them: turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry trees.

15 It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God is gone out before you to strike the host of the Philistines.

16 David did as God commanded him: and they struck the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

17 The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
