1 Chronicles 14:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ The Philistines attacked the people living in the Valley of Rephaim and stole their things. ¹⁰ David asked God, “Should I go and fight the Philistines? Will you let me defeat them?”

The Lord answered David, “Go. I will let you defeat the Philistines.”

¹¹ Then David and his men went up to the town of Baal Perazim. There David and his men defeated the Philistines. David said, “Waters break out from a broken dam. In the same way God has broken through my enemies! God has done this through me.” That is why that place is named Baal Perazim.^[a]
