*
And it was told David ,
saying ,
behold ,
the Philistines war in Keila ,
and they rob ,
they trample on the threshing-floors .
*
And David enquired of the Lord ,
saying ,
Shall I go and smite these Philistines ?
And the Lord said ,
Go ,
and thou shalt smite these Philistines ,
and shalt save Keila .
*
And the men of David said to him ,
Behold ,
we are afraid here in Judea ;
and how shall it be if we go to Keila ?
Shall we go after the spoils of the Philistines ?
*
And David enquired yet again of the Lord ;
and the Lord answered him ,
and said to him ,
Arise and go down to Keila ,
for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hands .
*
So David and his men with him went to Keila ,
and fought with the Philistines ;
and they fled from before him ,
and he carried off their cattle ,
and smote them with a great slaughter ,
and David rescued the inhabitants of Keila .
*
eAnd it came to pass when Abiathar the son of Achimelech fled to David ,
that he went down with David to Keila ,
having an ephod in his hand .
