And Jehovah said to him, Go up; and I will give them into thy hand. 14:11 And they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken in upon mine enemies by my hand, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim. 14:12 And they left their gods there; and David commanded, and they were burned with fire. 14:13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves in the valley. 14:14 And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn round them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees. 14:15 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines. 14:16 And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer. 14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all the nations.
