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.

9 David, ayant eu connaissance du mauvais dessein que Saül projetait contre lui, dit au sacrificateur Abiathar: Apporte l’éphod!
