All the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight against Israel. There were so many multitudes of Philistines that they could not be numbered.
And David was greatly distressed because he was afraid of the Philistines.
And the LORD said to Gad: “Go and tell David My servant: ‘Do not be worried about these uncircumcised Philistines, because tomorrow I will give them, and those other oppressors with them, into your hand.”
And David said to Gad: “I am not worthy of all the mercies that the LORD has shown to me, but blessed be the name of the LORD forever and ever.”
That night, a fire-angel came from heaven with his drawn sword in his hand.
And he attacked the camp of the uncircumcised. It was such a great slaughter that none of them were left alive.
And it came to pass the next morning they came to David saying: “Behold, all the Philistines have been killed by someone who rose up against them; not a single one of them was left alive.”
And David raised his voice and said: “Now I know that nothing can hinder the LORD. He can save us from many or few, and His salvation can be in a blink of an eye.”
And he said: “Blessed are You, O LORD, who has been taking revenge for us on our enemies.”
And he set up a pillar and called it the “Pillar of Revenge” unto this day.
