Contextual Overview
17When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they all went in search of David, but he heard about it and went down to the stronghold. 18So the Philistines came and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.19Then David inquired of the Lord: “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” 20So David went to Baal-perazim and defeated them there and said, “Like a bursting flood, the Lord has burst out against my enemies before me.” Therefore, he named that place The Lord Bursts Out. 21The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them off. 22The Philistines came up again and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim. 23So David inquired of the Lord, and he answered, “Do not attack directly, but circle around behind them and come at them opposite the balsam trees. 24When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, act decisively, for then the Lord will have gone out ahead of you to strike down the army of the Philistines.” 25So David did exactly as the Lord commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. Or "of the giants", as Joshua 15:8; which lay to the west of Jerusalem; of which, Joshua 15:8- :; the Philistines spreading themselves in it, shows that they were very numerous.
