Two Victories over the Philistines
8 And the Philisthiims hearing that David was anointed for king over all Israel, they went up all to seek him: which when David had heard, he went out to meet them.📜💬📚
9 Moreover the Philisthiims coming, were spread abroad in the Vale Raphaim.📜💬📚
10 And David consulted our Lord, saying: Shall I go up to the Philistians, and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And our Lord said to him: Go up and I will deliver them into thy hand.📜💬📚
11 And when they were come up into Baalpharasim, David struck them there, and said: God hath divided mine enemies by my hand, as waters are divided: and therefore the name of that place was called Baal Pharasim.📜💬📚
12 And they left there their gods, which David commanded to be burnt.📜💬📚
13 And other time also the Philisthiims invaded, and were dispersed in the Vale.📜💬📚
14 And David consulted God again, and God said to him: Go not up after them, retire from them, & thou shalt come against them over against the pear-trees.📜💬📚
15 And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the top of the pear-trees, then shalt thou issue forth to battle. For God is gone forth before thee, to strike the camp of the Philisthiims.📜💬📚
16 David therefore did as God had commanded him, & struck the camp of the Philisthians from Gabaon unto Gazera.📜💬📚
17 And the name of David was bruited in all countries, and our Lord gave the dread of him over all nations.📜💬📚
