3 Mais les gens de David lui dirent: Voici, nous ne sommes pas sans crainte ici même en Juda; que sera-ce si nous allons à Keïla contre les troupes des Philistins?

4 David consulta encore l’Éternel. Et l’Éternel lui répondit: Lève-toi, descends à Keïla, car je livre les Philistins entre tes mains.

5 David alla donc avec ses gens à Keïla, et il se battit contre les Philistins; il emmena leur bétail, et leur fit éprouver une grande défaite. Ainsi David délivra les habitants de Keïla.

6 Lorsque Abiathar, fils d’Achimélec, s’enfuit vers David à Keïla, il descendit ayant en main l’éphod.
