2 Samuel 5:23-25

New American Standard Bible

²³ So ^(A)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 ^(B)you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the baka-shrubs, then you shall ^[a]act promptly, for then ^(C)the Lord will have gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.” ²⁵ Then David did so, just as the Lord had commanded him; he struck and killed the Philistines from ^[b](D)Geba ^[c]as far as ^(E)Gezer.
