1 Chronicles 14:8

David

6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.

9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.

10 So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”
