1 Samuel 23:1

1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 23 David, inquiring of the Lord by Abiathar, rescueth Keilah, and goeth into it, 1 Samuel 23:1. God showing him the coming of Saul, and treachery of the Kennites, 1 Samuel 23:7, he flieth thence to the wilderness of Ziph, with his six hundred men, 1 Samuel 23:13. Here Jonathan cometh to him, and reneweth the covenant of friendship with him, 1 Samuel 23:16. The Ziphites discover him to Saul, 1 Samuel 23:19; who pursueth him into the wilderness of Maon, 1 Samuel 23:24. He is called away by a message that the Philistines had invaded the land, 1 Samuel 23:27,28. David dwelleth at En-gedi, 1 Samuel 23:29. Then they told David; or, Now they had told David, to wit, before he heard of the slaughter of the priests. Keilah; a city in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:44, not far from the forest of Hareth, where David now was, 1 Samuel 22:5. The threshing-floors usually were without the cities, in places open to the wind. See Judges 6:11 Ruth 3:2, &c.
