1 Samuel 23:1-3

International Children’s Bible

David at Keilah

23 Someone told David, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah. They are robbing grain from the threshing floors.”

² David asked the Lord, “Should I go and fight these Philistines?”

The Lord answered him, “Go. Attack them, and save Keilah.”

³ But David’s men said to him, “We’re afraid here in Judah. We will be much more afraid if we go to Keilah where the Philistine army is.”
