1 Samuel 23:1-6
1
Someone told David, "Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and stealing grain from the threshing floors."
2
David asked the Lord, "Should I go and fight these Philistines?" The Lord answered him, "Go. Attack them, and save Keilah."
3
But David's men said to him, "We're afraid here in Judah. We will be more afraid if we go to Keilah where the Philistine army is."
4
David again asked the Lord, and the Lord answered, "Go down to Keilah. I will help you defeat the Philistines.
5
So David and his men went to Keilah and fought the Philistines and took their cattle. David killed many Philistines and saved the people of Keilah.
6
(Now Abiathar son of Ahimelech had brought the holy vest with him when he came to David at Keilah.)
