New Testament

2 Samuel 5:19-21 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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. You can be sure that I will hand the Philistines over 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, 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 the statues off.
