So the king of Israel gathered the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, ‘Should I go against Ramoth-gilead for war or should I refrain? ’ They replied, ‘March up, and the Lord will hand it over to the king.’
Then David enquired of the Lord: ‘Should I attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me? ’ The Lord replied to David, ‘Attack, for I will certainly hand the Philistines over to you.’
Some time later, David enquired of the Lord: ‘Should I go to one of the towns of Judah? ’ The Lord answered him, ‘Go.’ Then David asked, ‘Where should I go? ’ ‘To Hebron,’ the Lord replied.
and David asked the Lord, ‘Should I pursue these raiders? Will I overtake them? ’ The Lord replied to him, ‘Pursue them, for you will certainly overtake them and rescue the people.’
So the Israelites went up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated the Philistines there. Then David said, ‘Like a bursting flood, God has used me to burst out against my enemies.’ Therefore, they named that place The Lord Bursts Out.
