8 The boundary went up to the Valley of the Son of Hinʹnom+ to the slope of the Jebʹu·site+ at the south, that is, Jerusalem,+ and the boundary went up to the top of the mountain that faces the Valley of Hinʹnom to the west, which is at the extremity of the Valley* of Rephʹa·im to the north.

12 The western boundary was at the Great Sea*+ and its coast. This was the boundary of the descendants of Judah by their families on all sides.

15 Three of the 30 headmen went down to the rock, to David at the cave of A·dulʹlam,+ while a Phi·lisʹtine army was camped in the Valley* of Rephʹa·im.+

13 Later the Phi·lisʹtines once again made a raid in the valley.*+ 14 David again inquired of God, but the true God said to him: “Do not go directly up after them. Instead, go around behind them, and come against them in front of the baʹca bushes.+ 15 And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the baʹca bushes, launch your attack, for the true God will have gone out before you to strike down the army of the Phi·lisʹtines.”+ 16 So David did just as the true God commanded him,+ and they struck down the Phi·lisʹtine army from Gibʹe·on to Geʹzer.+ 17 And David’s fame spread into all the lands, and Jehovah put the dread of him upon all the nations.+
