1 Chronicles 14:12Easy To Read VersionThe Philistine people had left their idols at Baal Perazim. David ordered his men to burn those idols. See the chapter |
Then David and his men went up to the town of Baal Perazim. There David and his men defeated the Philistine people. David said, “Waters break out from a broken dam. In the same way, God has broken through my enemies! God has done this through me.” That is why that place is named Baal Perazim. {\cf2\super [149]}
“You must throw the statues of their gods into the fire and burn them. You must not want to keep the silver or the gold that is on those statues. You must not take that silver or gold for yourselves. It will be like a trap to you—{it will ruin your life}. Why? Because the Lord your God hates those idols.
