21. The Philistines left the statues of their gods there. So David and his men carried the statues off.
22. Once more the Philistines came up. They spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
23. So David asked the Lord for advice. The Lord answered, "Do not go straight up. Instead, circle around behind them. Attack them in front of the balsam trees.
24. Listen for the sound of marching in the tops of the trees. Then move quickly. The sound will mean that I have gone out in front of you. I will strike down the Philistine army."
