1 Samuel 23:1-7
1And they toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Behold, the PhilistinesH6430 are fightingH3898 against KeilahH7084, and are robbing the threshing-floors. 2Therefore DavidH1732 inquired of Jehovah, sayingH559, Shall I go and smite these PhilistinesH6430? And Jehovah saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Go, and smite the PhilistinesH6430, and saveH3467 KeilahH7084. 3And David’s menH376 saidH559 unto him, Behold, we are afraidH3372 hereH6311 in JudahH3063: how much more then if we go to KeilahH7084 against the armies of the PhilistinesH6430? 4Then DavidH1732 inquired of Jehovah yetH5750 againH5750. And Jehovah answered him, and saidH559, AriseH6965, goH3381 down to KeilahH7084; for I will deliver the PhilistinesH6430 into thy handH3027. 5And DavidH1732 and his menH376 went to KeilahH7084, and foughtH3898 with the PhilistinesH6430, and brought awayH5090 their cattle, and slew them with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347. So DavidH1732 savedH3467 the inhabitantsH3427 of KeilahH7084. 6And it came to pass, when AbiatharH54 the sonH1121 of AhimelechH288 fledH1272 to DavidH1732 to KeilahH7084, that he came downH3381 with an ephodH646 in his handH3027.
7And it was toldH5046 SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 was comeH935 to KeilahH7084. And SaulH7586 saidH559, GodH430 hath deliveredH5462 him into my handH3027; for he is shutH5462 in, by entering into a town that hath gates and barsH1280.
