2 Samuel 5:18-20

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ So the Philistines came and spread out in Rephaim Valley.

¹⁹ Then David inquired of the Lord:^(A) “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?”

The Lord replied to David, “Attack, for I will certainly hand the Philistines over to you.”

²⁰ So David went to Baal-perazim and defeated them there and said, “Like a bursting flood, the Lord has burst out against my enemies before me.”^(B) Therefore, he named that place The Lord Bursts Out.^[a]
