When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines?
Will you deliver them into my hand?”
The LORD said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”
