1 And they reported to David, saying, 'Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are plundering the grain stores.'
2 Therefore, David consulted the Lord, saying, 'Shall I go and strike down these Philistines?' And the Lord said to David, 'Go, and you shall strike down the Philistines, and you shall save Keilah.'
3 And the men who were with David said to him, 'Behold, we continue in fear here in Judea; how much more so, if we go into Keilah against the troops of the Philistines?'
4 Therefore, David consulted the Lord again. And responding, he said to him: 'Rise up, and go into Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.'
5 Therefore, David and his men went into Keilah. And they fought against the Philistines, and they took away their cattle, and they struck them with a great slaughter. And David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
