1 Chronicles 14:5-13
New American Standard Bible
8When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David; and David heard about it and went out against them.
9Now the Philistines had come and carried out a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.
10David inquired of God, saying, 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will You hand them over to me?' Then the Lord said to him, 'Go up, for I will hand them over to you.'
11So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there; and David said, 'God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters.' Therefore they named that place Baal-perazim.
12They abandoned their gods there; so David gave the order and they were burned with fire.
