1. One day some people told David, “The Philistines keep attacking the town of Keilah and stealing grain from the threshing place.”
2. David asked the Lord, “Should I attack these Philistines?”“Yes,” the Lord answered. “Attack them and rescue Keilah.”
3. But David's men said, “Look, even here in Judah we're afraid of the Philistines. We will be terrified if we try to fight them at Keilah!”
4. David asked the Lord about it again. “Leave at once,” the Lord answered. “I will give you victory over the Philistines at Keilah.”
