9 medens Filisterne kom og bredte sig i Refaimdalen.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of Raphaim.
10 David raadspurgte da Gud: »Skal jeg drage op mod Filisterne? Vil du give dem i min Haand?« Og HERREN svarede ham: »Drag op, thi jeg vil give dem i din Haand!«
And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him: Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand.
11 Saa drog de op til Ba'al-Perazim, og der slog han dem. Da sagde David: »Gud har brudt igennem mine Fjender ved min Haand, som Vand bryder igennem!« Derfor kalder man Stedet Ba'al-Perazim.
And when they were come to Baalpharasim, David defeated them there, and he said: God hath divided my enemies by my hand, as waters are divided: and therefore the name of that place was called Baalpharasim.
12 Og de lod deres Guder i Stikken der, og David bød, at de skulde opbrændes.
And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they should be burnt.
13 Men Filisterne bredte sig paa ny i Dalen.
Another time also the Philistines made an irruption, and spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14 Da David atter raadspurgte Gud, svarede han: »Drag ikke efter dem, men omgaa dem og fald dem i Ryggen ud for Bakabuskene.
And David consulted God again, and God said to him: Go not up after them, turn away from them, and come upon them over against the pear trees.
15 Naar du da hører Lyden af Skridt i Bakabuskenes Toppe, skal du drage i Kamp, thi saa er Gud draget ud foran dig for at slaa Filisternes Hær.«
And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou go out to battle. For God is gone out before thee to strike the army of the Philistines.
16 David gjorde, som Gud bød, og de slog Filisternes Hær fra Gibeon til hen imod Gezer.
And David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of the Philistines, slaying them from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 Og Davids Ry bredte sig i alle Lande, idet HERREN lod Frygt for ham komme over alle Hedningefolkene.
And the name of David became famous in all countries, and the Lord made all nations fear him.
