Of the lord

Then David inquired of the Lord: “Should I go to war against the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?”

The Lord replied to David, “Go, for I will certainly hand the Philistines over to you.”

He will stand before Eleazar who will consult the Lord for him with the decision of the Urim. He and all the Israelites with him, even the entire community, will go out and come back in at his command.”

So David inquired of the Lord: “Should I launch an attack against these Philistines?”

The Lord answered David, “Launch an attack against the Philistines and rescue Keilah.”

However, if I were you, I would appeal to God
and would present my case to Him.

I will say to God:
“Do not declare me guilty!
Let me know why You prosecute me.

Call on Me in a day of trouble;
I will rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

When he calls out to Me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble.
I will rescue him and give him honor.

Then the king ordered the guards standing by him, “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord

because they sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they didn’t tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to execute the priests of the Lord.
