David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.”
Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?”
The LORD said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah.
How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
Then David inquired of the LORD yet again.
The LORD answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
