  So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

  David inquired again of God; and God said to him, You shall not go up after them: turn away from them, and come on them over against the mulberry-trees.  

 

 

--

  It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God is gone out before you to strike the host of the Philistines.

  David did as God commanded him: and they struck the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

  The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought the fear of him on all nations.
