1 Samuel 23:2-12

2So DavidH1732 inquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, “Should I goH1980 and attackH5221 theseH428 PhilistinesH6430?”

And the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 DavidH1732, “GoH1980 and attackH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 and saveH3467 KeilahH7084.”

3But David’sH1732 menH582 saidH559 to himH413, “LookH2009, weH587 are afraidH3373 hereH6311 in JudahH3063; how much moreH637 ifH3588 we goH1980 to KeilahH7084 againstH413 the armies ofH4634 the PhilistinesH6430?”

4Once againH3254H5750, DavidH1732 inquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, and the LORDH3068H559 answered himH6030: “GoH3381 at onceH6965 to KeilahH7084, forH3588 IH589 will deliverH5414 the PhilistinesH6430 into your handH3027.”

5Then DavidH1732 and his menH582 wentH1980 to KeilahH7084, foughtH3898 against the PhilistinesH6430, and carried offH5090 their livestockH4735, strikingH5221 them with a mightyH1419 blowH4347. So DavidH1732 savedH3467 the peopleH3427 of KeilahH7084.

6(NowH1961 AbiatharH54 sonH1121 of AhimelechH288 had broughtH3381 the ephodH646 with himH3027 when he fledH1272 toH413 DavidH1732 at KeilahH7084.)

7When SaulH7586 was toldH5046 thatH3588 DavidH1732 had goneH935 to KeilahH7084, heH7586 saidH559, “GodH430 has deliveredH5234 himH853 into my handH3027, forH3588 he has trapped himselfH5462 by enteringH935 a townH5892 with gatesH1817 and barsH1280.”

8Then SaulH7586 summonedH8085 allH3605 his troopsH5971 to goH3381 to warH4421 at KeilahH7084 and besiegeH6696H413 DavidH1732H413 and his menH582.

9When DavidH1732 learnedH3045 thatH3588 SaulH7586 was plottingH2790 evilH7451 against himH5921, he saidH559 toH413 AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, “BringH5066 the ephodH646.”

10And DavidH1732 saidH559, “O LORDH3068, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Your servantH5650 has heardH8085 thatH3588 SaulH7586 intendsH1245 to comeH935 toH413 KeilahH7084 and destroyH7843 the cityH5892 on my accountH5668. 11Will the citizensH1167 of KeilahH7084 surrender meH5462 into his handH3027?1 Will SaulH7586 come downH3381, asH834 Your servantH5650 has heardH8085? O LORDH3068, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, pleaseH4994 tellH5046 Your servantH5650.”

“He willH3381,” saidH559 the LORDH3068.

12So DavidH1732 askedH559, “Will the citizensH1167 of KeilahH7084 surrenderH5462 meH853 andH853 my menH582 into the handH3027 of SaulH7586?”

“They willH5462,” saidH559 the LORDH3068.
