Reading – 1 Samuel 23: 1-14 (ESV)
Now they told David, “Behold, the Philistines are
fighting against Keilah and are robbing the threshing
floors.” 2 Therefore David inquired of the Lord, “Shall
I go and attack these Philistines?” And the Lord said
to David, “Go and attack the Philistines and save
Keilah.” 3 But David's men said to him, “Behold, we
are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we
go to Keilah against the armies of the
Philistines?” 4 Then David inquired of the Lord again.
And the Lord answered him, “Arise, go down to
Keilah, for I will give the Philistines into your
hand.” 5 And David and his men went to Keilah and
fought with the Philistines and brought away their
livestock and struck them with a great blow. So
David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
6
When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech had fled to
David to Keilah, he had come down with an ephod in
his hand. 7 Now it was told Saul that David had come
to Keilah. And Saul said, “God has given him into my
hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town
that has gates and bars.” 8 And Saul summoned all
the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege
David and his men. 9 David knew that Saul was
plotting harm against him. And he said to Abiathar
the priest, “Bring the ephod here.” 10 Then David
said, “O Lord, the God of Israel, your servant has
surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to
destroy the city on my account.11 Will the men of
Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come
down, as your servant has heard? O Lord, the God of
Israel, please tell your servant.” And the Lord said,
“He will come down.” 12 Then David said, “Will the
men of Keilah surrender me and my men into the
hand of Saul?” And the Lord said, “They will
surrender you.” 13 Then David and his men, who
were about six hundred, arose and departed from
Keilah, and they went wherever they could go. When
Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah,
he gave up the expedition. 14 And David remained in
the strongholds in the wilderness, in the hill
country of the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought
him every day, but God did not give him into his
hand.
