1 Samuel 23:1-5
David Delivers Keilah
1 Then they told David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against (A)Keilah and are plundering the threshing floors.”
2 So David (B)inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and (a)attack these Philistines?” And the Lord said to David, “Go and (b)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?”
4 Then David inquired of the Lord once more. And the Lord answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah, for (C)I will give the Philistines into your hand.”
5 So 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.
