View In My Bible
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."
5
So David and his men went to Keilah. They slaughtered the Philistines and took all their livestock and rescued the people of Keilah.
6
Abiathar the priest went to Keilah with David, taking the ephod with him to get answers for David from the LORD.
