1 Then they told David, saying, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against aKeilah, and they are robbing the threshing floors.”
2 Therefore David ainquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and1 attack these Philistines?” And the Lord said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
3 But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
4 Then David inquired of the Lord once again. And the Lord answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
