— 1 Samuel 23:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.”
“And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. ”
“Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.”
“So Saul mustered all his army to go down to Keilah and besiege David and his men.”
“And Saul commanded all the people to go down to fight against Ceila, and to besiege David and his men.”
“And Saul sent for all the people to come to the fight, and go down to Keilah to make an attack on David and his men.”
“And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.”
Therefore, David and his men went into Keilah. And they fought against the Philistines, and they took away their cattle, and they struck them with a great slaughter. And David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
And in that time, when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, was in exile with David, he had descended to Keilah, having an ephod with him.
Then it was reported to Saul that David had gone to Keilah. And Saul said: “The Lord has delivered him into my hands. For he is enclosed, having entered into a city which has gates and bars.”
And Saul instructed all the people to descend in order to fight against Keilah, and to besiege David and his men.
And when David had realized that Saul had secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar, the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
And David said: “O Lord God of Israel, your servant has heard a report that Saul is planning to go to Keilah, so that he may overturn the city because of me.
Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hands? And will Saul descend, just as your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, reveal to your servant.” And the Lord said, “He will descend.”
