David Battles the Philistines(A)
17 When the Philistines eventually learned that Israel[a] had anointed David to be king over Israel, they marched out in search of him.[b] But David heard about it and retreated to his stronghold. 18 Meanwhile, the Philistines arrived and encamped in the Rephaim Valley, 19 so David asked the Lord, “Am I to go attack the Philistines? Will you give me victory over them?”[c]
“Go get them,” the Lord replied to David, “because I’m going to put the Philistines right into your hand!”
