And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 5 of 2 Samuel. The Philistines react to David’s establishment as king over all Israel and come up to seek him. David consults the Lord before fighting and receives victory at Baal-perazim. His interpretation of the triumph is theological: he recognizes that God has broken through his enemies before him. The idols abandoned by the Philistines become a sign of the defeat of their gods before the God of Israel.

Und sie ließen ihre Götzen daselbst; David aber und seine Männer hoben sie auf.
Y dejaron allí sus ídolos, los cuales quemó David y los suyos.
Los filisteos abandonaron allí sus ídolos, y David y sus hombres se los llevaron.
Ils laissèrent là leurs idoles, et David et ses gens les emportèrent.
Ed i Filistei lasciarono quivi i loro idoli, i quali Davide e la sua gente tolsero via.
E deixaram ali os seus ídolos; e Davi e os seus homens os tomaram.
非利士 人把偶像拋棄在那裏, 大衛 和他的人拿去了。
