THE MESSAGE
And then the Philistines were back at it again, plundering in the valley. David again prayed to God. God answered, "This time don't attack head-on; circle around and come at them out of the balsam grove. When you hear a sound like shuffling feet in the tops of the balsams, attack; God will be two steps ahead of you, slaughtering the Philistines."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
The Philistines made yet another raid in the valley.

Contextual Overview

8 When the P'lishtim heard that David had been anointed king over all Isra'el, all the P'lishtim went up in search of David. On hearing of it, David went to attack them. 9 Now the P'lishtim came and made a raid in the Refa'im Valley. 10 David consulted God, asking, "Should I attack the P'lishtim? Will you hand them over to me?" Adonai answered David, "Attack; I will hand them over to you." 11 So they went up to Ba‘al-P'ratzim, and David defeated them there. David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my power like a river breaking through its banks." This is why they called the place Ba‘al-P'ratzim [Lord of breaking through]. 12 The P'lishtim had left their gods there, so David gave an order, and they were burned up completely. 13 The P'lishtim came up again and raided the valley. 14 David consulted God again, but God told him, "Don't attack them! Turn away from them, and engage them opposite the balsam trees. 15 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out, and attack; because God has gone out ahead of you to defeat the army of the P'lishtim." 16 David did as God had ordered him to do and pursued his attack on the army of the P'lishtim from Giv‘on to Gezer. 17 So David's reputation spread to all countries, and Adonai brought the fear of him on all nations.
