1 Samuel 23:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

23 Then they told David, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are robbing the threshing floors.

² So David inquired of the Lord, Shall I go and attack these Philistines? And the Lord said to David, Go, smite the Philistines and save Keilah.

³ David’s men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more, then, if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
