2. Therefore David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?”And the Lord said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
3. But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
4. Then David inquired of the Lord once again.And the Lord answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
