So David and his men went to Keilah, fought with the Philistines, brought away their livestock, and dealt them a heavy defeat. Thus David rescued the inhabitants of Keilah.
For you girded me with strength for the battle; you made my assailants sink under me.
I struck them down, so that they were not able to rise; they fell under my feet.
Those who render me evil for good are my adversaries because I follow after good.
Again there was war, and David went out to fight the Philistines. He launched a heavy attack on them, so that they fled before him.
Then David inquired of the Lord again. The Lord answered him, “Yes, go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into your hand.”
When Abiathar son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.
