2 Samuel 5:24 CPDV

²²  And the Philistines continued still, so that they ascended and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.

²³  Then David consulted the Lord, 'Shall I ascend against the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hands?' And he responded: 'You shall not ascend against them; instead, circle behind their back. And you shall come to them from the side opposite the balsam trees.

²⁴  And when you hear the sound of something going forth from the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall begin the battle. For then the Lord will go forth, before your face, so that he may strike the army of the Philistines.'

²⁵  And so, David did just as the Lord had instructed him. And he struck down the Philistines, from Gibeon until you arrive at Gezer.
