1 Samuel 23:2-9 And David asked of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go? And shall I strike against these Philistines? And Jehovah said to David, Go, and you shall strike the Philistines and save Keilah.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And David asked of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go? And shall I strike against these Philistines? And Jehovah said to David, Go, and you shall strike the Philistines and save Keilah. ³ And David's men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; and how shall we go to Keilah to the armies of the Philistines? ⁴ And David once again inquired of Jehovah. And Jehovah answered him and said, Rise up, go down to Keilah, for I have given the Philistines into your hand. ⁵ And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and led away their livestock, and killed among them with a great blow. And David saved the inhabitants of Keilah. ⁶ And it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David, near Keilah, an ephod came in his hand. ⁷ And it was told to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, God has estranged him into my hand. For he is shut in, to enter into a city of gates and a bar. ⁸ And Saul heard and called all the people to battle, to go down to Keilah, to lay siege to David and to his men. ⁹ But David knew that Saul was devising evil against him. And he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring the ephod near.
