1 Samuel 23:1-3 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. David was informed that the Philistines were attacking Keilah and plundering the threshing floors.

2. So he consulted the Lord, asking, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” The Lord answered, Go, attack them, and free Keilah.

3. But David’s men said to him: “Even in Judah we have reason to fear. How much more so if we go to Keilah against the forces of the Philistines!”
