David Defeats The Philistines At Keilah

¹ Then they told David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are plundering the threshing floors.” ² So David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And the Lord said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines and deliver Keilah.” ³ But 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?”
