1 Samuel 23:1-6

LEB(i) 1 Now they told David, "Look, the Philistines are fighting in Keilah and they are raiding the threshing floors." 2 So David inquired of Yahweh, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And Yahweh said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines and save* Keilah." 3 But David's men said to him, "Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more* if we go to Keilah to the battle lines of the Philistines?" 4 So David again inquired of Yahweh, and Yahweh answered him and said, "Get up, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into your hand." 5 So David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines. They drove off their livestock and dealt them a heavy blow.* So David saved* the inhabitants of Keilah. 6 Now when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled* to David at Keilah, he went down with an ephod in his hand.
