and Pathrusim, and Casluhim - whence went forth the Philistines, and Caphtorim.

Now these are those whom David appointed over the service of song in the house of the Lord after the ark [of the covenant] rested there.

Now, the Philistines, fought against Israel, - and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and the wounded fell in Mount Gilboa.

And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons, - and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul.

And, when all the men of Israel that were in the vale saw, that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then forsook they their cities, and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

And it came to pass, on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, - that they found Saul, and his sons, lying prostrate in Mount Gilboa.

So they stript him, and took his head, and his armour, - and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the people.

And, when all Jabesh-Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

he, was with David in Pas-dammim, where, the Philistines, were gathered together to battle, and there was a field-plot full of barley, - and, the people, fled, from before the Philistines;

so they took their stand in the midst of the plot and rescued it, and smote the Philistines, - and Yahweh wrought a great victory.

And three of the thirty chiefs went down upon the rock, unto David, into the cave of Adullam, - a host of Philistines, being encamped in the vale of Rephaim.

Now, David, then was in the stronghold, - and, a garrison of Philistines, then was in Bethlehem.

And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, - yet would not David drink it, but poured it out unto Yahweh;

And, of Manasseh, there fell away unto David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they helped them not, - for the lords of the Philistines advisedly sent him away, saying, At the price of our heads, he might fall away to his master, Saul.

And, when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek to secure David, - and David, hearing, went out against them.

Now, the Philistines, had come and spread themselves out, in the vale of Rephaim.

Then David asked of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand.

So Israel came up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated the Philistines there. Then David said, “God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters.” Therefore they named that place Baal-perazim.

The Philistines left their idols there, so David ordered that they be burned.

And the Philistines yet again spread themselves out in the vale.

and it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou go forth into the battle, - for God will have gone forth before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

So David did as God commanded him, - and they smote the host of the Philistines, from Gibeon even unto Gezer.

And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had brought from all the nations: from the Edomites, and from the Moabites, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from the Amalekites.

And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Sippai, one of the children of Rapha; and they were subdued.

And there was again a battle with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair smote Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam.
