SAUL'S COMING, AND TREACHERY OF THE KEILITES. (Sa1 23:7-13)
it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah--Saul imagined himself now certain of his victim, who would be hemmed within a fortified town. The wish was father to the thought. How wonderfully slow and unwilling to be convinced by all his experience, that the special protection of Providence shielded David from all his snares! |
7 And it was told [05046] Saul [07586] that David [01732] was come [0935] to Keilah [07084]. And Saul [07586] said [0559], God [0430] hath delivered [05234] him into mine hand [03027]; for he is shut in [05462], by entering [0935] into a town [05892] that hath gates [01817] and bars [01280].
8 And Saul [07586] called [08085] all the people [05971] together [08085] to war [04421], to go down [03381] to Keilah [07084], to besiege [06696] David [01732] and his men [0582].
9 And David [01732] knew [03045] that Saul [07586] secretly practised [02790] mischief [07451] against him; and he said [0559] to Abiathar [054] the priest [03548], Bring hither [05066] the ephod [0646].
10 Then said [0559] David [01732], O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], thy servant [05650] hath certainly [08085] heard [08085] that Saul [07586] seeketh [01245] to come [0935] to Keilah [07084], to destroy [07843] the city [05892] for my sake.
11 Will the men [01167] of Keilah [07084] deliver me up [05462] into his hand [03027]? will Saul [07586] come down [03381], as thy servant [05650] hath heard [08085]? O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], I beseech thee, tell [05046] thy servant [05650]. And the LORD [03068] said [0559], He will come down [03381].
12 Then said [0559] David [01732], Will the men [01167] of Keilah [07084] deliver [05462] me and my men [0582] into the hand [03027] of Saul [07586]? And the LORD [03068] said [0559], They will deliver thee up [05462].
13 Then David [01732] and his men [0582], which were about six [08337] hundred [03967] [0376], arose [06965] and departed [03318] out of Keilah [07084], and went [01980] whithersoever [0834] they could go [01980]. And it was told [05046] Saul [07586] that David [01732] was escaped [04422] from Keilah [07084]; and he forbare [02308] to go forth [03318].
