1 David was told, "The Philistines are now attacking Keilah and looting the threshing floors!"
2 David asked the Lord, "Should I go and fight these Philistines?""Go!" the Lord answered. "Fight the Philistines and save Keilah!"
3 But David’s men said to him, "Look how frightened we are here in Judah. It’ll be worse if we go to Keilah against Philistine forces!"
4 So David asked the Lord again, and the Lord reaffirmed, "Yes, go down to Keilah, because I will hand the Philistines over to you."
