1 Samuel 23:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 23:1

Then they told David
Either the men of Keilah sent to him, being near them, or some well wishers of theirs, and of their country, acquainted him with their case:

saying, behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah;
had laid siege to it, being a fortified place, ( 1 Samuel 23:7 ) ; it was a city in the tribe of Judah, on the borders of the Philistines; of which (See Gill on Joshua 15:44);

and they rob the threshing floors;
took away the corn upon them, which they were threshing and winnowing, which were usually done without the city for the sake of wind, see ( Judges 6:11 ) ( Ruth 3:2 Ruth 3:15 ) ; it was harvest time when the three mighty men came to David in the cave of Adullam, and so now it might be the time of threshing, harvest being over, see ( 1 Samuel 22:1 ) ; compared with ( 2 Samuel 23:13 ) .

1 Samuel 23:1 In-Context

1 Ora, foi anunciado a Davi: Eis que os filisteus pelejam contra Queila e saqueiam as eiras.

2 Pelo que consultou Davi ao Senhor, dizendo: Irei eu, e ferirei a esses filisteus? Respondeu o Senhor a Davi: Vai, fere aos filisteus e salva a Queila.

3 Mas os homens de Davi lhe disseram: Eis que tememos aqui em Judá, quanta mais se formos a Queila, contra o exército dos filisteus!

4 Davi, pois, tornou a consultar ao Senhor, e o Senhor lhe respondeu: Levanta-te, desce a Queila, porque eu hei de entregar os filisteus na tua mão

5 Então Davi partiu com os seus homens para Queila, pelejou contra os filisteus, levou-lhes o gado, e fez grande matança entre eles; assim Davi salvou os moradores de Queila.
