* Therefore David enquired of the LORD , saying , Shall I go and smite these Philistines ? And the LORD said unto David , Go , and smite the Philistines , and save Keilah Q @#iylah #. * And Davids men said unto him , Behold , we be afraid here in Judah : how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines ? * Then David enquired of the LORD yet again . And the LORD answered him and said , Arise , go down to Keilah Q @#iylah #; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand . * So David and his men went to Keilah Q @#iylah #, and fought with the Philistines , and brought away their cattle , and smote them with a great slaughter . So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah Q @#iylah #. * And it came to pass , when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah Q @#iylah #, that he came down with an ephod in his hand . * And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah Q @#iylah #. And Saul said , God hath delivered him into mine hand ; for he is shut in , by entering into a town that hath gates and bars . * And Saul called # all the people together to war , to go down to Keilah Q @#iylah #, to besiege David and his men . * And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him ; and he said to Abiathar the priest , Bring hither the ephod .
