Two Victories over the Philistines

(2 Samuel 5:17–25)

But when the Philistims heard that Dauid was anointed King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid. And when Dauid heard, he went out against them.

And the Philistims came, and spred them selues in the valley of Rephaim.

Then Dauid asked counsel at God, saying, Shall I goe vp against the Philistims, and wilt thou deliuer them into mine hande? And the Lord saide vnto him, Goe vp: for I will deliuer them into thine hande.

So they came vp to Baal-perazim, and Dauid smote them there: and Dauid said, God hath deuided mine enemies with mine hande, as waters are deuided: therefore they called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

And there they had left their gods: and Dauid said, Let them euen be burnt with fire.

Againe the Philistims came and spread them selues in the valley.

And when Dauid asked againe counsell at God, God said to him, Thou shalt not goe vp after them, but turne away from them, that thou mayest come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.

And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then goe out to battel: for God is gone foorth before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.

So Dauid did as God had commanded him: and they smote the hoste of the Philistims from Gibeon euen to Gezer.

And the fame of Dauid went out into all landes, and the Lord brought the feare of him vpon all nations.

(2 Samuel 5:12–16)

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.

David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.

These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

Two Victories over the Philistines

(2 Samuel 5:17–25)

When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”

So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.(a)

They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.

The Philistines made another raid in the valley.

David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.

When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

The fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all nations.
