1. David was told, "The Philistines are now attacking Keilah and looting the threshing floors!"
2. David asked the Lord, "Should I go and fight these Philistines?""Go!" the Lord answered. "Fight the Philistines and save Keilah!"
3. But David’s men said to him, "Look how frightened we are here in Judah. It’ll be worse if we go to Keilah against Philistine forces!"
4. So David asked the Lord again, and the Lord reaffirmed, "Yes, go down to Keilah, because I will hand the Philistines over to you."
