Beriah and Shema, leaders of ancestral households in Aijalon who put to flight the inhabitants of Gath,

The Philistines were fighting against Israel, and each soldier of Israel fled before the Philistines. They fell slain on the mountain of Gilboa.

When that part of the army of Israel that was in the valley saw that the rest of the army of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and occupied them.

He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines were there to engage them in battle. There was a field planted with barley, and the army had run away from the Philistines,

but they took a defensive stand in the middle of the field and killed the Philistines while the LORD saved them by means of a great victory.

These men crossed the Jordan in the first month of the year during flood season and chased out everyone in the valleys, to the east and to the west.

So David went out to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there. David observed, "Like an overwhelming flood, God has overwhelmed my enemies, using me to do it." That's why that place is called Baal-perazim.

Chelub's son Ezri supervised the field workers who tilled the soil.
