2 Samuel 5:22-24

New American Standard Bible

²² Now ^(A)the Philistines came up once again and overran the Valley of Rephaim. ²³ So ^(B)David inquired of the Lord, but He said, “You shall not go directly up; circle around behind them and come at them in front of the baka-shrubs. ²⁴ And it shall be, when ^(C)you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the baka-shrubs, then you shall ^[a]act promptly, for then ^(D)the Lord will have gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
