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.

David ordered his men to burn the idols.
