1 Samuel 23:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² So David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?”

The Lord said to David, “Go strike the Philistines and save Keilah.”

³ But David’s men said to him, “Look how afraid we are here in Judah! How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines!”

⁴ Then David inquired of the Lord again, and the Lord answered him, “Set out and go down to Keilah, for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
