American Standard Version
19 And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said unto David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand. 20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, Jehovah hath [a]broken mine enemies before me, like the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place [b]Baal-perazim. 21 And they left their images there; and David and his men took them away.
