8. The Philistines heard that David had been chosen to be the king of Israel, so all the Philistines went to look for him. When David heard about it, he went out to fight them.
|
8. And when the Philistines H6430 heard H8085 that H3588 David H1732 was anointed H4886 king H4428 over H5921 all H3605 Israel H3478 , all H3605 the Philistines H6430 went up H5927 to seek H1245 H853 David H1732 . And David H1732 heard H8085 of it , and went out H3318 against H6440 them.

|
10. David asked God, "Should I go and fight the Philistines? Will you let me defeat them?" The Lord answered David, "Go. I will let you defeat the Philistines."
|
10. And David H1732 inquired H7592 of God H430 , saying H559 , Shall I go up H5927 against H5921 the Philistines H6430 ? and wilt thou deliver H5414 them into mine hand H3027 ? And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto him , Go up H5927 ; for I will deliver H5414 them into thine hand H3027 .
|
|
11. Then David and his men went up to the town of Baal Perazim. There David and his men defeated the Philistines. David said, "Waters break out from a broken dam. In the same way God has broken through my enemies! God has done this through me." That is why that place is named Baal Perazim.
|
11. So they came up H5927 to Baal H1188 -perazim ; and David H1732 smote H5221 them there H8033 . Then David H1732 said H559 , God H430 hath broken in H6555 H853 upon mine enemies H341 by mine hand H3027 like the breaking forth H6556 of waters H4325 : therefore H5921 H3651 they called H7121 the name H8034 of that H1931 place H4725 Baal H1188 -perazim.
|
|
12. The Philistines had left their idols at Baal Perazim. David ordered his men to burn the idols.
|
12. And when they had left H5800 H853 their gods H430 there H8033 , David H1732 gave a commandment H559 , and they were burned H8313 with fire H784 .

13. And the Philistines H6430 yet H5750 again H3254 spread themselves abroad H6584 in the valley H6010 .
|
|
14. David prayed to God again, and God answered his prayer. God said, "David, don't follow the Philistines up the hill when you attack. Instead, go around them and hide on the other side of the balsam trees.
|
14. Therefore David H1732 inquired H7592 again H5750 of God H430 ; and God H430 said H559 unto him Go not up H3808 H5927 after H310 them ; turn away H5437 from H4480 H5921 them , and come H935 upon them over against H4480 H4136 the mulberry trees H1057 .
|
|
15. When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, go out to battle because that is the sign that God has gone out in front of you to defeat the Philistines."
|
15. And it shall be H1961 , when thou shalt hear H8085 H853 a sound H6963 of going H6807 in the tops H7218 of the mulberry trees H1057 , that then H227 thou shalt go out H3318 to battle H4421 : for H3588 God H430 is gone forth H3318 before H6440 thee to smite H5221 H853 the host H4264 of the Philistines H6430 .
|
|
16. David did what God told him to do. So David and his men defeated the Philistine army. They killed Philistine soldiers all the way from the town of Gibeon to the town of Gezer.
|
16. David H1732 therefore did H6213 as H834 God H430 commanded H6680 him : and they smote H5221 H853 the host H4264 of the Philistines H6430 from Gibeon H4480 H1391 even to H5704 Gazer H1507 .
|
|
17. So David became famous in all the countries. The Lord made all nations afraid of him.
|
17. And the fame H8034 of David H1732 went out H3318 into all H3605 lands H776 ; and the LORD H3068 brought H5414 H853 the fear H6343 of him upon H5921 all H3605 nations H1471 .
