2 Samuel 5:19–20
19So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?”
“Go up,” replied the LORD, “for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
20So David went to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, the LORD has burst out against my enemies before me.” So he called that place Baal-perazim.d
