Then they told
David,
saying,
Behold, the Philistines
fight
against Keilah,
and they rob
the threshingfloors.
Therefore David
enquired
of the LORD,
saying,
Shall I go
and smite
these Philistines?
And the LORD
said
unto David,
Go,
and smite
the Philistines,
and save
Keilah.

And David's
men

Then David

And the LORD

him and said,
Arise,
go down
to Keilah;
for I will deliver
the Philistines
into thine hand.

So David
and his men
went
to Keilah,
and fought
with the Philistines,
and brought away
their cattle,
and smote
them with a great
slaughter.
So David
saved
the inhabitants
of Keilah.

And it came to pass, when Abiathar
the son

fled
to David
to Keilah,
that he came down
with an ephod
in his hand.

And it was told

And Saul
said,
God
hath delivered

for he is shut in,
by entering
into a town
that hath gates

And Saul

to go down
to Keilah,
to besiege

And David

that Saul
secretly practised

against him; and he said
to Abiathar
the priest,
Bring hither

Then said
David,
O LORD

that Saul
seeketh
to come
to Keilah,
to destroy
the city
for my sake.

Will the men

O LORD

I beseech thee, tell
thy servant.
And the LORD
said,
He will come down.

Then said
David,
Will the men
of Keilah
deliver
me and my men
into the hand
of Saul?
And the LORD
said,
They will deliver thee up.
Then David
and his men,
which were about six
hundred,
arose
and departed
out of Keilah,
and went
whithersoever
they could go.
And it was told
Saul
that David
was escaped
from Keilah;
and he forbare
to go forth.

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
delivered
him not into his hand.

And David
saw
that Saul
was come out
to seek
his life:
and David
was in the wilderness
of Ziph
in a wood.
And Jonathan
Saul's
son
arose,
and went
to David
into the wood,
and strengthened
his hand
in God.
And he said
unto him, Fear
not: for the hand
of Saul
my father
shall not find
thee; and thou shalt be king
over Israel,
and I shall be next
unto thee; and that also Saul
my father
knoweth.

Then came up

to Gibeah,
saying,
Doth not David
hide
himself with us in strong holds
in the wood,
in the hill
of Hachilah,
which is on the south
of Jeshimon?

Now therefore, O king,
come down
according to all the desire
of thy soul
to come down;
and our part shall be to deliver
him into the king's
hand.
And Saul
said,
Blessed
be ye of the LORD;
for ye have compassion
on me.
Go,
I pray you, prepare
yet, and know
and see
his place
where his haunt
is, and who hath seen
him there: for it is told
me that he dealeth very
subtilly.
See
therefore, and take knowledge
of all the lurking places
where he hideth
himself, and come ye again
to me with the certainty,
and I will go
with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be
in the land,
that I will search
him out throughout all the thousands
of Judah.
And they arose,
and went
to Ziph
before
Saul:
but David
and his men
were in the wilderness
of Maon,
in the plain
on the south
of Jeshimon.

Saul
also and his men

to seek

wherefore he came down
into a rock,

in the wilderness

And when Saul

And Saul

But there came

Wherefore Saul
returned
from pursuing

David,
and went
against
the Philistines:
therefore they called
that place

And David
went up
from thence, and dwelt
in strong holds
at Engedi.
