8. So Saul mustered all his army to go down to Keilah and besiege David and his men.

9. When David realized that Saul was planning to harm him, he told Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod!”

10. Then David said, “O Lord God of Israel, your servant has clearly heard that Saul is planning to come to Keilah to destroy the city because of me.

11. Will the leaders of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down as your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, please inform your servant!”Then the Lord said, “He will come down.”

12. David asked, “Will the leaders of Keilah deliver me and my men into Saul’s hand?” The Lord said, “They will deliver you over.”
