Contextual Overview
17 The Philistines were told that David had been made king of Israel, so their army set out to capture him. When David heard of it, he went down to a fortified place. 18 The Philistines arrived at Rephaim Valley and occupied it. 19 David asked the Lord , "Shall I attack the Philistines? Will you give me the victory?" "Yes, attack!" the Lord answered. "I will give you the victory!" 20 So David went to Baal Perazim and there he defeated the Philistines. He said, "The Lord has broken through my enemies like a flood." And so that place is called Baal Perazim. 21 When the Philistines fled, they left their idols behind, and David and his men carried them away. 22 Then the Philistines went back to Rephaim Valley and occupied it again. 23 Once more David consulted the Lord , who answered, "Don't attack them from here, but go around and get ready to attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees. 24 When you hear the sound of marching in the treetops, then attack because I will be marching ahead of you to defeat the Philistine army." 25 David did what the Lord had commanded, and was able to drive the Philistines back from Geba all the way to Gezer.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. Or "of the giants", as Joshua 15:8; which lay to the west of Jerusalem; of which, Joshua 15:8- :; the Philistines spreading themselves in it, shows that they were very numerous.
