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. 8And SaulH7586 summoned all the peopleH5971 to warH4421, to goH3381 down to KeilahH7084, to besiege DavidH1732 and his menH376. 9And DavidH1732 knewH3045 that SaulH7586 was devising mischief against him; and he saidH559 to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, BringH5066 hither the ephodH646. 10Then saidH559 DavidH1732, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, thy servantH5650 hath surely heardH8085 that SaulH7586 seeketh to comeH935 to KeilahH7084, to destroyH7843 the cityH5892 for my sakeH5668. 11Will the men of KeilahH7084 deliverH5462 me up into his handH3027? will SaulH7586 comeH3381 down, as thy servantH5650 hath heardH8085? O Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I beseech thee, tellH5046 thy servantH5650. And Jehovah saidH559, He will comeH3381 down. 12Then saidH559 DavidH1732, Will the menH376 of KeilahH7084 deliverH5462 up me and my menH376 into the handH3027 of SaulH7586? And Jehovah saidH559, They will deliverH5462 thee up. 13Then DavidH1732 and his menH376, who were about sixH8337 hundredH3967, aroseH6965 and departed out of KeilahH7084, and wentH1980 whithersoever they could goH1980.
