2 Samuel 5:23-25

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²³ When David inquired of the Lord, he said, “You shall not go up; go around to their rear, and come upon them opposite the balsam trees. ²⁴ When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then be on the alert; for then the Lord has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.” ²⁵ David did just as the Lord had commanded him; and he struck down the Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
