Chapter 23
Then
they
told
Dauid,
saying,
Beholde,
the
Philistines
fight
against
Keilah,
and
they
rob
the
threshing
floores.
2
Therefore
Dauid
enquired
of
the
Lord,
saying,
Shall
I
go
and
smite
these
Philistines?
And
the
Lord
said
vnto
Dauid,
Goe,
and
smite
the
Philistines,
and
saue
Keilah.
3
And
Dauids
men
said
vnto
him,
Behold,
we
be
afraid
here
in
Iudah:
how
much
more
then
if
wee
come
to
Keilah
against
the
armies
of
the
Philistines?
4
Then
Dauid
enquired
of
the
Lord
yet
againe:
And
the
Lord
answered
him,
and
said,
Arise,
go
down
to
Keilah:
for
I
will
deliuer
the
Philistines
into
thine
hand.
5
So
Dauid
and
his
men
went
to
Keilah,
and
fought
with
the
Philistins,
and
brought
away
their
cattell,
and
smote
them
with
a
great
slaughter:
so
Dauid
saued
the
inhabitants
of
Keilah.
6
And
it
came
to
passe
when
Abiathar
the
sonne
of
Ahimelech
fled
to
Dauid
to
Keilah,
that
hee
came
downe
with
an
Ephod
in
his
hand.
7
And
it
was
told
Saul
that
Dauid
was
come
to
Keilah:
and
Saul
said,
God
hath
deliuered
him
into
mine
hand:
for
he
is
shut
in,
by
entring
into
a
towne
that
hath
gates
and
barres.
8
And
Saul
called
all
the
people
together
to
warre,
to
goe
downe
to
Keilah,
to
besiege
Dauid,
and
his
men.
9
And
Dauid
knewe
that
Saul
secretly
practised
mischiefe
against
him,
and
hee
said
to
Abiathar
the
Priest,
Bring
hither
the
Ephod.
10
Then
saide
Dauid,
O
Lord
God
of
Israel,
thy
seruant
hath
certainly
heard
that
Saul
seeketh
to
come
to
Keilah,
to
destroy
the
citie
for
my
sake.
11
Will
the
men
of
Keilah
deliuer
me
vp
into
his
hande?
will
Saul
come
downe,
as
thy
seruant
hath
heard,
O
Lord
God
of
Israel?
I
beseech
thee
tell
thy
seruant.
And
the
Lord
said,
He
will
come
downe.
12
Then
said
Dauid,
Will
the
men
of
Keilah
deliuer
me,
and
my
men,
into
the
hand
of
Saul?
And
the
Lord
said,
They
will
deliuer
thee
vp.
13
Then
Dauid
and
his
men,
which
were
about
sixe
hundred,
arose,
and
departed
out
of
Keilah,
and
went
whithersoeuer
they
could
goe:
and
it
was
told
Saul
that
Dauid
was
escaped
from
Keilah,
and
hee
forbare
to
goe
foorth.
14
And
Dauid
abode
in
the
wildernesse
in
strong
holds,
and
remained
in
a
mountaine
in
the
wildernes
of
Ziph:
and
Saul
sought
him
euery
day,
but
God
deliuered
him
not
into
his
hand.
15
And
Dauid
saw
that
Saul
was
come
out
to
seeke
his
life:
and
Dauid
was
in
the
wildernes
of
Ziph
in
a
wood.
16
And
Ionathan
Sauls
sonne
arose,
&
went
to
Dauid
into
the
wood,
and
strengthened
his
hand
in
God.
17
And
he
said
vnto
him,
Feare
not;
for
the
hand
of
Saul
my
father
shall
not
finde
thee,
and
thou
shalt
be
king
ouer
Israel,
and
I
shall
be
next
vnto
thee:
and
that
also
Saul
my
father
knoweth.
18
And
they
two
made
a
couenant
before
the
Lord:
and
Dauid
abode
in
the
wood,
and
Ionathan
went
to
his
house.
19
Then
came
vp
the
Ziphites
to
Saul
to
Gibeah,
saying,
Doth
not
Dauid
hide
himselfe
with
vs
in
strong
holds
in
the
wood,
in
the
hill
of
Hachilah,
which
is
on
the
South
of
Ieshimon?
20
Now
therefore,
O
king,
come
downe
according
to
all
the
desire
of
thy
soule
to
come
downe,
and
our
part
shall
be
to
deliuer
him
into
the
kings
hand.
21
And
Saul
said,
Blessed
be
yee
of
the
Lord,
for
yee
haue
compassion
on
me.
22
Goe,
I
pray
you,
prepare
yet,
and
know,
and
see
his
place
where
his
haunt
is,
and
who
hath
seene
him
there:
for
it
is
told
mee
that
he
dealeth
very
subtilly.
23
See
therefore,
and
take
knowledge
of
all
the
lurking
places
where
he
hideth
himselfe,
and
come
ye
againe
to
me
with
the
certainty,
and
I
will
goe
with
you:
and
it
shall
come
to
passe,
if
he
be
in
the
land,
that
I
will
search
him
out
throughout
all
the
thousands
of
Iudah.
24
And
they
arose,
&
went
to
Ziph
before
Saul:
but
Dauid
and
his
men
were
in
the
wildernesse
of
Maon,
in
the
plaine
on
the
South
of
Ieshimon.
25
Saul
also
and
his
men
went
to
seeke
him,
and
they
told
Dauid:
wherefore
he
came
downe
into
a
rocke,
and
abode
in
the
wildernesse
of
Maon:
and
when
Saul
heard
that,
he
pursued
after
Dauid
in
the
wildernes
of
Maon.
26
And
Saul
went
on
this
side
of
the
mountaine,
and
Dauid
and
his
men
on
that
side
of
the
mountaine:
and
Dauid
made
haste
to
get
away
for
feare
of
Saul:
for
Saul
and
his
men
compassed
Dauid
and
his
men
round
about
to
take
them.
27
But
there
came
a
messenger
vnto
Saul,
saying,
Haste
thee,
and
come:
for
the
Philistines
haue
inuaded
the
land.
28
Wherefore
Saul
returned
from
pursuing
after
Dauid,
&
went
against
the
Philistines;
therefore
they
called
that
place
Sela-Hammahlekoth.
29
And
Dauid
went
vp
from
thence,
and
dwelt
in
strong
holds
at
En-gedi.
