Contextual Overview

⁸ When the Philistines heard that David had become king of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard about their plan and marched out to meet them in battle. ⁹ The Philistines had already camped in Rephaim Valley and were raiding the nearby villages. ¹⁰ David asked God, "Should I attack the Philistines? Will you help me win?" The Lord told David, "Yes, attack them! I will give you victory." ¹¹ David and his army marched to Baal-Perazim, where they attacked and defeated the Philistines. He said, "I defeated my enemies because God broke through them like a mighty flood." So he named the place "The Lord Broke Through." ¹² Then David ordered his troops to burn the idols that the Philistines had left behind. ¹³ Some time later, the Philistines came back into the hill country and camped in Rephaim Valley. ¹⁴ David asked God what he should do, and God answered, "Don't attack them from the front. Circle around behind them where the balsam trees are. ¹⁵ Wait there until you hear the treetops making the sound of marching troops. That sound will mean I have marched out ahead of you to fight the Philistine army. So you must then attack quickly!" ¹⁶ David obeyed God and he defeated the Philistines. He even chased them all the way from Gibeon to the entrance to Gezer. ¹⁷ From then on, David became even more famous, and the Lord made all the nations afraid of him.
