1 Then they tolde Dauid, saying: Beholde, the Philistines fight against Keila, and spoyle the barnes. 2 Therfore Dauid asked counsell of the lord, saying: Shal I go and smyte these Philistines? And the Lord aunswered vnto Dauid: Go, and smite the Philistines, and saue Keila. 3 And Dauids men said vnto him, See, we be afrayde here in Iuda: howe much more then if we come to Keila against the hoast of the Philistines? 4 Then Dauid asked counsell of the Lorde agayne. And the Lorde aunswered him, and sayd: Aryse, and go downe to Keila, for I will deliuer the Philistines into thyne hande. 5 And so Dauid and his men went to Keila, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattell, & smote them with a great slaughter, and so Dauid saued ye inhabitauntes of Keila. 6 And when Abiathar the sonne of Ahimelech fled to Dauid to Keila, he brought an Ephod with him in his hande. 7 And it was tolde Saul that Dauid was come to Keila: And Saul sayde, God hath deliuered him into myne hande: For he is shut in, now that he is come into a towne that hath gates and barres. 8 And Saul called all the people together to warre, for to go downe to Keila, and to besiege Dauid and his men. 1 Samuel 23:1-8, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
