GOD’S WORD Translation
6 When Ahimelech’s son Abiathar fled to David at Keilah, Abiathar brought a priestly ephod [a] with him.
7 When Saul was told that David went to Keilah, Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hands. He has trapped himself by going into a city which has ⌞a gate with⌟ a double door ⌞held shut by⌟ a bar.” 8 So Saul called together all the troops to go to war and blockade Keilah, where David and his men were.
