1 Samuel 23:7-13
7And it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. Then Saul said, 1God has cast him off into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a city that has gates and bars.
8And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
9And when David knew that Saul devised mischief against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring the ephod.
10Then said David, Jehovah, 2God of Israel, thy servant hath heard for certain that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
11Will the citizens of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? Jehovah, 3God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And Jehovah said, He will come down.
12And David said, Will the citizens of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Jehovah said, They will deliver [thee] up.
13Then David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, and he forbore to go forth.
