2 Samuel 5:19-21
New International Reader's Version
19 So David asked the Lord for advice. He said, “Should I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?”
The Lord answered him, “Go. I will surely hand over the Philistines to you.”
20 So David went to Baal Perazim. There he won the battle over the Philistines. He said, “The Lord has broken through against my enemies when I’ve attacked them. He has broken through just as water breaks through a dam.” That’s why the place was called Baal Perazim. 21 The Philistines left the statues of their gods there. So David and his men carried off the statues.
