How much time passed between the two battles against the Philistines?

2 Samuel 5:22 (NEG79)

22 Les Philistins montèrent de nouveau, et se déployèrent dans la vallée des Rephaïm.

We do not know how much time passed between the battles. Possibly the first battle was a smaller force which could be faced head on, while the second battle was against a larger force of Philistines, resulting in a flanking move being preferable.1
