Scripture Union Daily Guide 2nd June 2026 Outline
David’s success brought new challenges from the outside. The Philistines deployed a large army to capture him (2 Samuel 5:18). Why did David inquire of the Lord whether to go and fight the enemies or not (2 Samuel 5:19)? At the battle of Baal Perazim, David defeated the Philistines with an overwhelming force, like a breakthrough of water. The Philistines abandoned their useless gods to their shame and disgrace.
Note David’s acknowledgement of God for this victory (2 Samuel 5:20). How often do we acknowledge God as the main source of our successes and achievements? Do you give credit to self in life’s victories? Again, the Philistines came back, but to a different battle ground (2 Samuel 5:22).
Notice their reason for the change of battle ground. The Devil does not give up easily, even though defeated several times (Luke 4:13). Again, David inquired of the Lord (2 Samuel 5:23). Following a different strategy on God’s instruction (2 Samuel 5:24), he defeated the Philistines at the Valley of Rephaim (2 Samuel 5:25). Glory to God!
