So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

15

As hig eh gy-kione, tra chlinnys oo sheean ayns mullagh ny biljyn-mulberry myr feiyr sleih er march, eisht gow magh dy chaggey: son ta Jee er n'gholl magh royd, dy woalley sheshaght ny Philistinee.

And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

16

As ren David myr va Jee er harey; as woaill ad sheshaght ny Philistinee veih Gibeon gys Gazer.

David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.
