2 Samuel 5:22-24

Easy-to-Read Version

²² Again the Philistines came up and camped in Rephaim Valley.

²³ David prayed to the Lord again and got this answer: “Don’t go up the valley. Go around them to the other side of their army. Attack them from the other side of the balsam trees. ²⁴ When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, you must act quickly because that is the sign that the Lord has gone out in front of you to defeat the Philistines.^[a]”
