14:8 The defeat of the Philistines

Full kingdom

(2 Sam. 5:17-25)

8When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Yisrael, the entire Philistine army went up into the hill country to eliminate him. David got this news and took his army out to meet them. 9Meanwhile, the Philistines went and raided the Refaim valley, 10and David asked God, “Should I take on the Philistines, and will you give me victory over them?”

“Go ahead,” Yahweh answered, “and I’ll enable you to defeat them.”

11Then they[fn] went up to what’s now called Baal-Peratsim, and David defeated them down there. David said, “God has used me to break through my enemies like a flooded river breaking a dam.” Therefore they named that place Baal-Peratsim (which means ‘the master bursts through’). 12The Philistines abandoned their idols as they fled, and David ordered them to be burnt.

13But soon the Philistines raided the valley again, 14and David asked God’s advice again. “Don’t go uphill after them,” God said, “but circle around them and confront them in front of the balsam trees. 15When you hear the sound of the marching in the tops of the balsam trees, that’s when you should attack, because God will have gone out ahead of you to strike down the Philistine army.” 16So David did just as God had told him, and he attacked the Philistines from Giveon all the way to Gezer. 17So David’s reputation spread everywhere, and Yahweh caused the other nations to be afraid of him.


14:11 It’s not clear who’s being referred to here.
