2Sa 5:18Now the Pelishtim had come and spread themselves in the valley of Refa'im.

2Sa 5:19

2Sa 5:20

2Sa 5:20David came to Ba`al-Peratzim, and David struck them there; and he said, the LORD has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Ba`al-Peratzim.

2Sa 5:24

2Sa 5:24It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall bestir yourself; for then is the LORD gone out before you to strike the host of the Pelishtim.
