1 Samuel 23:6 in Context — 1 Samuel 23

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.

7 Saül fut informé de l’arrivée de David à Keïla, et il dit: Dieu le livre entre mes mains, car il est venu s’enfermer dans une ville qui a des portes et des barres.

8 Et Saül convoqua tout le peuple à la guerre, afin de descendre à Keïla et d’assiéger David et ses gens.
