Will you deliver them into my hand?" The LORD said to David, "Go up, for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand." 20 So David went to Baal Perazim, where he defeated them. He said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me like a rushing flood." Therefore, that place is called Baal Perazim. 21 The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them away. 22 The Philistines came up again and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. 23 When David inquired of the LORD, He said, "Do not go straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees. 24 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, act quickly, because that will mean the LORD has gone out ahead of you to strike the Philistine army." 25 So David did as the LORD commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
