Shmuel Bais 5:15-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

15. Yivchar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Yaphia,

16. And Elishama, and Elyada, and Eliphelet.

17. But when the Pelishtim heard that they had mashechu (anointed) Dovid Melech over Yisroel, all the Pelishtim came up to seek Dovid; but Dovid heard of it, and went down to the metzudah (stronghold).

18. The Pelishtim also came and spread themselves in the Emek Repha'im.

19. And Dovid inquired of Hashem, saying, Shall I go up against the Pelishtim? Wilt Thou deliver them into mine yad? And Hashem said unto Dovid, Go up; for I will doubtless deliver the Pelishtim into thine yad.

20. So Dovid came to Baal-Peratzim, and Dovid struck them there, and said, Hashem hath paratz (broken out) upon mine enemies before me, as of peretz mayim. Therefore he called the shem of that place Baal-Peratzim.

21. And there they left their atzabim, and Dovid and his anashim burned them.

22. And the Pelishtim came up yet again, and spread themselves out in the Emek Repha'im.
