1 Samuel 23:1-3

Christian Standard Bible

Deliverance at Keilah

23 It was reported to David, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah^(A) and raiding the threshing floors.”

² So David inquired of the Lord:^(B) “Should I launch an attack against these Philistines?”

The Lord answered David, “Launch an attack against the Philistines and rescue Keilah.”

³ But David’s men said to him, “Look, we’re afraid here in Judah; how much more if we go to Keilah against the Philistine forces!”
