Contextual Overview
17 When the Philistines heard that David had been chosen to be king of Israel, all the Philistines went up to find him. When David heard of it, he went down to the strong place. 18 The Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim. 19 Then David asked the Lord, "Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You give them into my hand?" And the Lord said to David, "Go up, for it is sure that I will give the Philistines into your hand." 20 So David came to Baal-perazim and beat them there in battle. He said, "The Lord has broken through those who hate me like the breaking through of a flood." So he gave that place the name Baal-perazim. 21 The Philistines left their false gods there, and David and his men carried them away. 22 The Philistines came up again, and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim. 23 David asked the Lord what he should do. And the Lord said, "Do not go up, but go around behind them and come at them in front of the balsam trees. 24 When you hear the sound of their steps in the tops of the balsam trees, then hurry to fight, for then the Lord will have gone out before you to destroy the Philistine army." 25 David did just as the Lord told him. He killed the Philistines 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.
