Contextual Overview

And the Lorde answered Dauid, Goe vp: for I will doubtlesse deliuer the Philistims into thine handes. 20 Then Dauid came to Baal-perazim, & smote them there, and sayde, The Lorde hath deuided mine enemies asunder before mee, as waters be deuided asunder: therefore he called the name of that place, Baal-perazim. 21 And there they left their images, and Dauid and his men burnt them. 22 Againe the Philistims came vp, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim. 23 And when Dauid asked counsell of the Lorde, hee answered, Thou shalt not goe vp, but turne about behinde them, and come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees. 24 And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then remoue: for then shall the Lord goe out before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims. 25 Then Dauid did so as the Lorde had commanded him, and smote the Philistims from Geba, vntil thou come to Gazer.

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.
