8And 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.
9And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod.
10Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me.
11And now, is it true, as they have said to me, that Saul is coming? O Lord, the God of Israel, give ear to your servant, and say if these things are so. And the Lord said, He is coming down.
12Then David said, Will the men of Keilah give me and my men up to Saul? and the Lord said, They will give you up.
13Then David and his men, about six hundred of them, went out of Keilah, and got away wherever they were able to go. And Saul, hearing that David had got away from Keilah, did not go there.
14And David kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.
