From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Rephaim, Valley of       (Josh. 15:8; 18:16, R.V.). When David became king over all       Israel, the Philistines, judging that he would now become their       uncompromising enemy, made a sudden attack upon Hebron,       compelling David to retire from it. He sought refuge in "the       hold" at Adullam (2 Sam. 5:17-22), and the Philistines took up       their position in the valley of Rephaim, on the west and       south-west of Jerusalem. Thus all communication between       Bethlehem and Jerusalem was intercepted. While David and his       army were encamped here, there occurred that incident narrated       in 2 Sam. 23:15-17. Having obtained divine direction, David led       his army against the Philistines, and gained a complete victory       over them. The scene of this victory was afterwards called       Baalperazim (q.v.).                A second time, however, the Philistines rallied their forces       in this valley (2 Sam. 5:22). Again warned by a divine oracle,       David led his army to Gibeon, and attacked the Philistines from       the south, inflicting on them another severe defeat, and chasing       them with great slaughter to Gezer (q.v.). There David kept in       check these enemies of Israel. This valley is now called       el-Bukei'a.
