  ¹³The Philistines made another raid in the valley.

  ¹⁴David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.

  ¹⁵When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

  ¹⁶David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

  ⁴After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.

  ⁵Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

  ⁶There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.

  ⁷When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.

  ⁸These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

  ¹⁵This is the reason of the forced labor which King Solomon conscripted: to build the LORD’s house, his own house, Millo, Jerusalem’s wall, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

  ¹⁶Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, taken Gezer, burned it with fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a wedding gift to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.

  ¹⁷Solomon built in the land Gezer, Beth Horon the lower,

  ¹⁸Baalath, Tamar in the wilderness,

  ¹⁹all the storage cities that Solomon had, the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

  ²⁴When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”

  ²⁵David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
