Victory over the Philistines at Baal-perazim

1 Chronicles 14:8-12

When the P'lishtim heard that David had been anointed king over all Isra'el, all the P'lishtim went up in search of David. On hearing of it, David went to attack them.

Now the P'lishtim came and made a raid in the Refa'im Valley.

David consulted God, asking, "Should I attack the P'lishtim? Will you hand them over to me?"ADONAI answered David, "Attack; I will hand them over to you."

So they went up to Ba'al-P'ratzim, and David defeated them there. David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my power like a river breaking through its banks."This is why they called the place Ba'al-P'ratzim [Lord of breaking through].

The P'lishtim had left their gods there, so David gave an order, and they were burned up completely.
