2 Samuel 5:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 Then David [a]asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hands? And the Lord answered David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hands.
20 ¶ (A)Then David came to Baal Perazim, and smote them there, and said, The Lord hath divided mine enemies asunder before me, as waters be divided asunder: therefore he called the name of that place, [b]Baal Perazim.
21 And there they left their images, and David and his men (B)burnt them.
