1 Samuel 23:2-4

Living Bible

² David asked the Lord, “Shall I go and attack them?”

“Yes, go and save Keilah,” the Lord told him.

³ But David’s men said, “We’re afraid even here in Judah; we certainly don’t want to go to Keilah to fight the whole Philistine army!”

⁴ David asked the Lord again, and the Lord again replied, “Go down to Keilah, for I will help you conquer the Philistines.”
