## 2 Samuel 5:24-25 in Context (Verses 21–25 KJV)
 
 [21 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/21) And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/22) ¶ And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/23) And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; *but* fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/24) And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/2-samuel/5/25) And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.*
