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 Ahora bien, cuando Abiatar hijo de Ajimélec huyó a Queilá para refugiarse con David, se llevó consigo el efod.
7 Cuando le contaron a Saúl que David había ido a Queilá, exclamó: «¡Dios me lo ha entregado! David se ha metido en una ciudad con puertas y cerrojos, y no tiene escapatoria».
8 Entonces convocó a todo su ejército para ir a combatir a David y a sus hombres, y sitiar la ciudad de Queilá.
9 David se enteró de que Saúl tramaba su destrucción. Por tanto, le ordenó a Abiatar que le llevara el efod.
10 Luego David oró:—Oh SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, yo, tu siervo, sé muy bien que por mi culpa Saúl se propone venir a Queilá para destruirla.
