and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,
7
and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.
8
And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the
Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard it, and went out to meet them.
9
And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants’ valley.
10
And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will
you deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver
them into your hands.
11
And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David smote them there; and David said, God has
broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the
name of that place, the A singular transposition Breach of Pharasin.
12
And the Philistines left their gods there; and David Gr. told or spoke gave orders to burn them with fire.
13
And the Philistines Gr. added yet and— once more assembled themselves in the giants’ valley.
14
And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, You shall not go after them;
turn away from them, and you shall come upon them near the pear trees.
15
And it shall be, when you shall hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the
pear trees, then you shall go into the battle: for God has gone out before you to
smite the army of the Philistines.
16
And he did as God commanded him: and he smote the army of the Philistines from Gabaon
to Gazera.
17
And the name of David was famous in all the land; and the Lord Gr. gave put the terror of him on all the nations.
