THE MESSAGE
Later there was a repeat performance. The Philistines came up again and deployed their troops in the Rephaim Valley. David again prayed to God . This time God said, "Don't attack them head-on. Instead, circle around behind them and ambush them from the grove of sacred trees. When you hear the sound of shuffling in the trees, get ready to move out. It's a signal that God is going ahead of you to smash the Philistine camp." David did exactly what God told him. He routed the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.

Contextual Overview
17 And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David for king over Israel. And all the Philistines came up to seek David. And David heard and went down to the stronghold. 18 And the Philistines came and were spread out in the Valley of the Giants. 19 And David asked of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? Will You give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand. 20 And David came to the Breaches of Baal. And David struck them there, and said, Jehovah has broken forth on my enemies before me as the breaking forth of waters. On account of this he called the name of that place The Breaches of Baal. 21 And they abandoned their idols there; and David and his men took them away. 22 And the Philistines again came up and were spread out in the Valley of the Giants. 23 And David asked of Jehovah, and He said, You shall not go up. Turn around to their rear, and come to them in front of the weeping trees. 24 And it shall be, when you hear the sound of the marching in the tops of the weeping trees, then you shall strike. For then Jehovah shall go out before you to strike the army of the Philistines. 25 And David did so, as Jehovah commanded him. And he struck the Philistines from Geba until you come to Gezer.
