2 Samuel 5:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” The Lord said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.” ²⁰ So David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. He said, “The Lord has burst forth against^[a] my enemies before me, like a bursting flood.” Therefore that place is called Baal-perazim.^{[b] 21} The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.
