1 Samuel 23:3-5

New English Translation

³ But David’s men said to him, “We are afraid while we are still here in Judah. What will it be like if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?” ⁴ So David asked the Lord once again. But again the Lord replied, “Arise, go down to Keilah, for I will give the Philistines into your hand.”

⁵ So David and his men went to Keilah and fought the Philistines. He took away their cattle and thoroughly defeated them.^[a] David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.
