1 Samuel 23:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 23:7

And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah
No doubt it was told him what he came thither for, to relieve it, and deliver it out of the hands of the Philistines, and what success he had; which one would have thought would have reconciled his mind to him, and made him think well of them; but instead of that, it only led him to contrive mischief against him:

and Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand;
as if the success he had given to David was against, him, and in favour of Saul:

for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars;
while he betook himself to caves, and fields, and woods, he had no great hopes of finding him out, and coming up with him, and seizing him; but now he had got into a fortified place, enclosed with walls, and that had gates to it, kept bolted and barred; when he brought his army against it, and surrounded it, he imagined he would not be able to get out, and escape his hands.

1 Samuel 23:7 In-Context

5 Entonces David y sus hombres fueron a Keila. Mataron a los filisteos, tomaron todos sus animales y rescataron a la gente de la ciudad.

6 Cuando Abiatar, hijo de Ahimelec, huyó a donde estaba David en Keila, se llevó consigo el efod.

7 Pronto Saúl se enteró de que David estaba en Keila. «¡Excelente! —exclamó—. ¡Ya lo tenemos! Dios me lo entregó en mis manos, porque se ha quedado atrapado en una ciudad amurallada».

8 Entonces Saúl movilizó a todo su ejército para marchar hacia Keila y sitiar a David y a sus hombres.

9 Pero David se enteró de los planes de Saúl y le dijo a Abiatar el sacerdote que trajera el efod para consultar con el Señor
