Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?”
The LORD said, “They will deliver you up.”
Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah and went wherever they could go.
Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there.
David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph.
Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand.
