This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
17 When the Pelishtim heard that David had been proclaimed as king over all Yisrael (Israel), their army set off to capture him, but David heard and retreated[fn] to the stronghold. 18 The Pelishtim moved in and took over the Rafa valley, 19 and David inquired from Yahweh, “Should I attack the Pelishtim? Will you help me defeat them?”
“Yes, attack them,” Yahweh replied, “because I’ll certainly help you to defeat them.”
20 So David attacked and defeated them, and said, “Yahweh broke through my enemies in front of me like breaking a dam.” So he called the place ‘Ba’al-Peratsim’ (which means ‘Master of breaking through’). 21 The Pelishtim left their idols there, and David and his men took them away.
22 Then the Pelishtim returned to the Rafa valley and took over it again. 23 Again David inquired from Yahweh who replied, “No, don’t go straight in. Move around behind them and then attack them from opposite the trees. 24 Then when you hear a sound in the tops of the trees that sounds like marching, then you’ll know that Yahweh has gone ahead to strike the Pelishtim’ camp.” 25 So David followed Yahweh’s instructions they attacked the Pelishtim from Geva all the way to Gezer.
5:17 The Hebrew says ‘descended’, but doesn’t tell us either from where (probably Yerushalem) or to where (possibly Masada).
