1 Samuel 23:1-8

1And they toldH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, the PhilistinesH6430 are fightingH3898 againstH3898 KeilahH7084, and they rob the threshing-floors.

2Therefore DavidH1732 inquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Shall I go and smiteH5221 theseH428 PhilistinesH6430? And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Go, and smiteH5221 the PhilistinesH6430, and saveH3467 KeilahH7084.

3And David’sH1732 menH376 saidH559 unto him, BeholdH2009, weH587 be afraidH3372 hereH6311 in JudahH3063: howH637 muchH637 moreH637 then ifH3588 weH587 goH2009 to KeilahH7084 againstH413 the armiesH4634 of the PhilistinesH6430?

4Then DavidH1732 inquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068 yet againH5750. And the LORDH3068 answeredH559 him and saidH559, AriseH6965, goH3381 downH3381 to KeilahH7084; for I will deliverH5414 the PhilistinesH6430 intoH3027 thine handH3027.

5And DavidH1732 and his menH376 wentH376 to KeilahH7084, and foughtH3898 with the PhilistinesH6430, and broughtH3467 awayH5090 their cattleH4735, and slewH5221 therewith a greatH1419 slaughterH4347. SoH3427 DavidH1732 savedH3467 the inhabitantsH3427 of KeilahH7084.

6And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when AbiatharH54 the sonH1121 of AhimelechH288 fledH1272 to DavidH1732 to KeilahH7084, that he cameH1961 downH3381 with an ephodH646 in his handH3027.

7And it was toldH5046 SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 was comeH935 to KeilahH7084. And SaulH7586 saidH559, GodH430 hath deliveredH5462 him intoH935 mine handH3027; for he is shutH5462 in, by enteringH935 intoH935 a townH5892 that hath gatesH1817 and barsH1280.

8And SaulH7586 summonedH8085 allH3605 the peopleH5971 to warH4421, to goH3381 downH3381 to KeilahH7084, to besiege DavidH1732 and his menH376.
