10. And David inquired of God, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou give them into my hand?" And the LORD said to him, "Go up, and I will give them into your hand."
11. Cumque illi ascendissent in Baalpharasim, percussit eos ibi David et dixit: “Dirupit Deus inimicos meos per manum meam sicut dirumpuntur aquae”. Et idcirco vocatum est nomen loci illius Baalpharasim (id est Dominus diruptionum).
11. And he went up to Ba'al-pera'zim, and David defeated them there; and David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood." Therefore the name of that place is called Ba'al-pera'zim.
12. Dereliqueruntque ibi deos suos, quos David iussit exuri.
12. And they left their gods there, and David gave command, and they were burned.
13. Alia etiam vice Philisthim irruerunt et diffusi sunt in valle;
13. And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
14. consuluitque rursum David Deum, et dixit ei Deus: “Non ascendas post eos; circumdabis eos et venies contra illos ex adverso arborum celthium;
14. And when David again inquired of God, God said to him, "You shall not go up after them; go around and come upon them opposite the balsam trees.
15. cumque audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine arborum celthium, tunc egredieris ad bellum; egressus est enim Deus ante te, ut percutias castra Philisthim”.
15. And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to smite the army of the Philistines."
16. Fecit ergo David, sicut praeceperat ei Deus, et percussit castra Philisthinorum de Gabaon usque Gazer.
16. And David did as God commanded him, and they smote the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer.
17. Divulgatumque est nomen David in universis regionibus, et Dominus dedit pavorem eius super omnes gentes.
17. And the fame of David went out into all lands, and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
