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

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

The Philistines made another raid in the valley.

When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
