3 And David takes wives again in Jerusalem, and David begets sons and daughters again;

8 And the Philistines hear that David has been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David hears, and goes out before them.

And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went out against them.

9 And the Philistines have come, and rush into the Valley of Rephaim,

And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

10 and David asks of God, saying, “Do I go up against the Philistines—and have You given them into my hand?” And YHWH says to him, “Go up, and I have given them into your hand.”

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.

11 And they go up into Ba‘al-Perazim, and David strikes them there, and David says, “God has broken up my enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters”; therefore they have called the name of that place Ba‘al-Perazim.

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.

12 And they leave their gods there, and David commands, and they are burned with fire.

And they left their gods there; and David commanded, and they were burned with fire.

13 And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley,

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves in the valley.

14 and David asks again of God, and God says to him, “Do not go up after them, turn around from them, and you have come to them from the front [[or in front]] of the mulberries;

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.

15 and it comes to pass, when you hear the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then you go out into battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”

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.

16 And David does as God commanded him, and they strike the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer;

And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

17 and the name of David goes out into all the lands, and YHWH has put his fear on all the nations.

And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all the nations.
