1 Samuel 23:10-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 23
10
Then David said, '
Lord
God of Israel, Your servant has heard for certain that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah to destroy the city on my account.
11
Will the citizens of Keilah hand me over to him? Will Saul come down just as Your servant has heard?
Lord
God of Israel, please, tell Your servant.' And the
Lord
said, 'He will come down.'
12
Then David said, 'Will the citizens of Keilah hand me and my men over to Saul?' And the
Lord
said, 'They will hand you over.'
13
Then David and his men, about six hundred, rose up and departed from Keilah, and they went wherever they could go. When it was reported to Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, he gave up the pursuit.
14
David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul searched for him every day, but God did not hand him over to him.
King James Version
Chapter 23
10
Then said David, O
Lord
God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
11
Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O
Lord
God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the
Lord
said, He will come down.
12
Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the
Lord
said, They will deliver thee up.
13
Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth.
14
And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 23
10
Then David said, "
Lord
God of Israel, your servant has reliable information that Saul intends to come to Keilah and destroy the town because of me.
11
Will the citizens of Keilah hand me over to him? Will Saul come down as your servant has heard?
Lord
God of Israel, please tell your servant." The
Lord
answered, "He will come down."
12
Then David asked, "Will the citizens of Keilah hand me and my men over to Saul?" "They will," the
Lord
responded.
13
So David and his men, numbering about six hundred, left Keilah at once and moved from place to place. When it was reported to Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, he called off the expedition.
14
David then stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. Saul searched for him every day, but God did not hand David over to him.
New Living Translation
Chapter 23
10
Then David prayed, 'O
Lord
, God of Israel, I have heard that Saul is planning to come and destroy Keilah because I am here.
11
Will the leaders of Keilah betray me to him? And will Saul actually come as I have heard? O
Lord
, God of Israel, please tell me.' And the
Lord
said, 'He will come.'
12
Again David asked, 'Will the leaders of Keilah betray me and my men to Saul?' And the
Lord
replied, 'Yes, they will betray you.'
13
So David and his men — about 600 of them now — left Keilah and began roaming the countryside. Word soon reached Saul that David had escaped, so he didn’t go to Keilah after all.
14
David now stayed in the strongholds of the wilderness and in the hill country of Ziph. Saul hunted him day after day, but God didn’t let Saul find him.
English Standard Version
Chapter 23
10
Then David said, "O
Lord
, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city on my account.
11
Will the men of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? O
Lord
, the God of Israel, please tell your servant." And the
Lord
said, "He will come down."
12
Then David said, "Will the men of Keilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul?" And the
Lord
said, "They will surrender you."
13
Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah, and they went wherever they could go. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he gave up the expedition.
14
And David remained in the strongholds in the wilderness, in the hill country of the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand.
New International Version
Chapter 23
10
David said, "
Lord
, God of Israel, your servant has heard definitely that Saul plans to come to Keilah and destroy the town on account of me.
11
Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me to him? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard?
Lord
, God of Israel, tell your servant." And the
Lord
said, "He will."
12
Again David asked, "Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me and my men to Saul?" And the
Lord
said, "They will."
13
So David and his men, about six hundred in number, left Keilah and kept moving from place to place. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he did not go there.
14
David stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hills of the Desert of Ziph. Day after day Saul searched for him, but God did not give David into his hands.
New King James Version
Chapter 23
10
Then David said, “O
Lord
God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
11
Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O
Lord
God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant.” And the
Lord
said, “He will come down.”
12
Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” And the
Lord
said, “They will deliver
you.
”
13
So David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah and went wherever they could go. Then it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah; so he halted the expedition.
14
And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness, and remained in the mountains in the Wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.
