1 David was told, "Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors."
2 So David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah."
3 David's men said to him, "Look, we're afraid here in Judah. How much then, if we go to Keilah against the Philistine army?"
4 So David again inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him and said, "Get up, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into your hand."
5 David and his men went to Keilah and fought the Philistines. He carried off their livestock and defeated them decisively, and so David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.
6 Now as Abiathar, son of Abimelech, had fled to David, he went down with him to Keila, having the ephod in his hand.
7 Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah and he said, God has delivered him into my hand, for he is trapped by going into a town that has gates and bars.
8 And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
9 When David learned that Saul was plotting evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod here."
10 David said, "LORD God of Israel. Your servant has definitely heard that Saul intends to come to Keilah to destroy the town because of me.
11 Will the rulers of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down as your servant has heard? O LORD, God of Israel, please tell your servant!" And the LORD said, "He will come down."
12 Then David said, Will the men of Keilah give me and my men up to Saul? and the Lord said, They will give you up.
13 David and his men, about six hundred in all, left Keilah. They went wherever they could go. Then Saul was told: "David has escaped from Keilah! So he gave up the campaign."
14 David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds and in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn't deliver him into his hand.
