1 Samuel 23:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ David heard about Saul's plan to capture him, and he told Abiathar, “Let's ask God what we should do.”

¹⁰ David prayed, “Lord God of Israel, I was told that Saul is planning to come here. What should I do? Suppose he threatens to destroy the town because of me. ¹¹ Would the leaders of Keilah turn me over to Saul? Or is he really coming? Please tell me, Lord.”

“Yes, he will come,” the Lord answered.
