18 Now the Philistines had come and spread out in (A)the Valley of Rephaim. 19 And David (B)inquired of the Lord, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.” 20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. And he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me like a breaking flood.” (C)Therefore the name of that place is called Baal-perazim.[a]
