2 Samuel 5:23-25 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

23. David asked the Lord what he should do, and the Lord answered:Don't attack them from the front. Circle around behind and attack from among the balsam trees.

24. Wait until you hear a sound like troops marching through the tops of the trees. Then attack quickly! That sound will mean I have marched out ahead of you to fight the Philistine army.

25. David obeyed the Lord and defeated the Philistines. He even chased them all the way from Geba to the entrance to Gezer.
