1 Samuel 23:7-13

7When it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah, Saul said, “God has 1delivered him into my hand, for he shut himself in by entering a city with double gates and bars.”

8So Saul summoned all the people for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.

9Now David knew that Saul was plotting evil against him; so he said to 2Abiathar the priest, “3Bring the ephod here.”

10Then David said, “O Lord God of Israel, Your servant has heard for certain that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah to destroy the city on my account.

11Will the men of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down just as Your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant.” And the Lord said, “He will come down.”

12Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul?” And the Lord said, “4They will surrender you.”

13Then David and his men, 5about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah, and they went 6wherever they could go. When it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, he 7gave up the pursuit.
