11. Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down as thy slave has heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy slave. And the Lord said, He will come down.
12. Then David said, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the Lord said, They will deliver thee up.
13. So David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah and went from one place to another. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah, and he forbare to go forth.
14. And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.
