David Saves the City of Keilah

23 Now they told David, ‘The Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing-floors.’ ² David inquired of the Lord, ‘Shall I go and attack these Philistines?’ The Lord said to David, ‘Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.’ ³ 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?’
