10. David asked God, “Shall I attack the Philistines? Will you give me the victory?”The Lord answered, “Yes, attack! I will give you the victory!”
11. So David attacked them at Baal Perazim and defeated them. He said, “God has used me to break through the enemy army like a flood.” So that place is called Baal Perazim.
12. When the Philistines fled, they left their idols behind, and David gave orders for them to be burnt.
13. Soon the Philistines returned to the valley and started plundering it again.
