The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of
Rephaim.
And David enquired of the Lord, saying, "Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand?" And the Lord said unto David, "Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand."
And David smote the Philistines and said, "The Lord hath broken forth upon mine enemies, as the breach of waters."
And there the Philistines left their images and David and his men burned them.
And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
And when David enquired of the Lord, he said, "Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines."
And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and smote the
Philistines from Geba until they came to Gazer.
After David had conquered the Philistines he called unto him a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and said, "Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him?"
And Ziba said unto the king, "Jonathan hath yet a son who is lame on his feet."
The king said unto him, "Where is he?".
