1 Samuel 23:1-5

1Then they told David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against 1Keilah and are plundering the threshing floors.” 2So David 2inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and 3attack these Philistines?” And the Lord said to David, “Go and 4attack the Philistines and deliver Keilah.” 3But David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the ranks of the Philistines?” 4Then David inquired of the Lord once more. And the Lord answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah, for 5I will give the Philistines into your hand.” 5So David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines; and he led away their livestock and struck them with a great slaughter. Thus David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.
