And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, because of his people Israel.

And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
10 Dawudi ne yeebuuza ku Mukama nti, “Ŋŋende ntabaale Abafirisuuti? Onoobagabula mu mukono gwange?” Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Genda, kubanga nnaabagabula mu mukono gwo.”
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 Awo Dawudi n’ayambuka ne basajja be e Baaluperazimu, n’atabaala Abafirisuuti n’abawangula. N’ayogera nti, “Katonda awangudde abalabe bange n’omukono gwe, ng’amazzi bwe gawaguza.” Era ekifo ekyo kyekyava kituumibwa Baaluperazimu.
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.

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