*
Then they told David ,
saying , "
Look ,
the Philistines are fighting against Keilah ,
and they are robbing the threshing floors ."
*
Therefore 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 ."
*
But David '
s men said to him , "
Look ,
we are afraid here in Judah .
How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines ?"
*
Then David inquired of the LORD once again .
And the LORD answered him and said , "
Arise ,
go down to Keilah .
For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand ."
*
And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines ,
struck them with a mighty blow ,
and took away their livestock .
So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah .
*
Now it happened ,
when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah ,
that he went down with an ephod in his hand .
