David saves Keilah town
23 The Philistines were attacking the town of Keilah.[a] They were taking away the grain that the people had brought from their fields. Someone told David about this. 2 So David asked the Lord, ‘Should I go and attack those Philistines?’
The Lord answered him, ‘Go and attack the Philistines. Save Keilah town.’
3 But David's men said to him, ‘We are afraid when we are here in Judah. If we go to attack the Philistine army at Keilah, we will be in even more danger.’
