1 Samuel 23:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 23:8

And Saul called all the people together to war
Or "caused [them] to hear" F13 summoned them by an herald, whom he sent into all parts of the kingdom to proclaim war, and require them in his name to attend him; which was the prerogative of a king to do:

to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men;
that was what he privately intended, but the pretence was to make war against the Philistines.

1 Samuel 23:8 In-Context

6 Lorsque Abiathar, fils d'Achimélec, s'enfuit vers David à Keïla, il descendit ayant en main l'éphod.
7 Saül fut informé de l'arrivée de David à Keïla, et il dit: Dieu le livre entre mes mains, car il est venu s'enfermer dans une ville qui a des portes et des barres.
8 Et Saül convoqua tout le peuple à la guerre, afin de descendre à Keïla et d'assiéger David et ses gens.
9 David, ayant eu connaissance du mauvais dessein que Saül projetait contre lui, dit au sacrificateur Abiathar: Apporte l'éphod!
10 Et David dit: Eternel, Dieu d'Israël, ton serviteur apprend que Saül veut venir à Keïla pour détruire la ville à cause de moi.
