1 Samuel 23:1-5
David Saves Keilah
23Then they told David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against aKeilah and are pillaging the threshing floors.” 2So David aasked of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” And Yahweh said to David, “Go and strike the Philistines and save Keilah.” 3But David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the battle lines of the Philistines?” 4Then David asked of Yahweh once more. And Yahweh answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah, for aI will give the Philistines into your hand.” 5So 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 saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
