7 And it was told Saul that David was come to Kei´lah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
8 And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Kei´lah, to besiege David and his men.
9 And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abi´athar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
10 Then said David, O Lord God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Kei´lah, to destroy the city for my sake.
11 Will the men of Kei´lah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the Lord said, He will come down.
12 Then said David, Will the men of Kei´lah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the Lord said, They will deliver thee up.
13 Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Kei´lah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Kei´lah; and he forbare to go forth.
