1 One day news came to David that the Philistines were at Keilah stealing grain from the threshing floors.
2 David asked the lord, “Should I go and attack them?”“Yes, go and save Keilah,” the lord told him.
3 But David’s men said, “We’re afraid even here in Judah. We certainly don’t want to go to Keilah to fight the whole Philistine army!”
4 So David asked the lord again, and again the lord replied, “Go down to Keilah, for I will help you conquer the Philistines.”
