1 Samuel 23:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ Lord God of Israel, will Saul come down as your servant has heard?^[a] Please tell your servant.”

“Yes, he will come down,” the Lord answered.

¹² Next David asked, “Will the citizens of Keilah hand me and my soldiers over to Saul?”

“Yes, they will hand you over,” the Lord replied.

¹³ So David and his troops—approximately six hundred men—got up and left Keilah. They kept moving, going from one place to the next. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he didn’t go there.
