2 Samuel 5:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁸ Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the valley of Rephaim.^{(A) 19} David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” The Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”^{(B) 20} So David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. He said, “The Lord has burst forth against my enemies before me like a bursting flood.” Therefore that place is called Baal-perazim.^[a](C)
