1 Samuel 23:1-3 Good News Bible (GNB)

1. David heard that the Philistines were attacking the town of Keilah and were stealing the newly harvested corn.

2. So he asked the Lord, “Shall I go and attack the Philistines?”“Yes,” the Lord answered. “Attack them and save Keilah.”

3. But David's men said to him, “We have enough to be afraid of here in Judah; it will be much worse if we go to Keilah and attack the Philistine forces!”
