9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
10 And David inquired of God saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up; and I will give them into thy hand.
and David asketh of God, saying, 'Do I go up against the Philistines — and hast Thou given them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith to him, 'Go up, and I have given them into thy hand.'
11 And they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken in upon mine enemies by my hand, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

14 And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn round them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.
and David asketh again of God, and God saith to him, 'Do not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come to them from over-against the mulberries;
15 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.
and it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines.'
16 And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;
17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all the nations.
and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
