8 E convocou Saul todo aquele povo à batalha, para descer a Queila, e pôr cerco a Davi e aos seus.

9 Mas entendendo Davi que Saul planejava o mal contra ele, disse a Abiatar sacerdote: Traze o éfode.

10 E disse Davi: o SENHOR Deus de Israel, teu servo tem entendido que Saul trata de vir contra Queila, a destruir a cidade por causa minha.

11 Os vizinhos de Queila me entregarão em suas mãos? Descerá Saul, como teu servo tem ouvido? O SENHOR Deus de Israel, rogo-te que o declares a teu servo. E o SENHOR disse: Sim, descerá.
