2 Samuel 5:19-21
Easy-to-Read Version
19 David asked the Lord, saying, “Should I go up to fight against the Philistines? Will you help me defeat them?”
The Lord answered, “Yes, I certainly will help you defeat the Philistines.”
20 Then David went to Baal Perazim and defeated the Philistines in that place. He said, “The Lord broke through my enemies like water breaking through a dam.” That is why David named that place “Baal Perazim.”[a] 21 The Philistines left the statues of their gods behind at Baal Perazim. David and his men took them away.
