1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 23
David, inquiring of the Lord by Abiathar, rescueth Keilah, and goeth into it, 1Sa_23:1-6. God showing him the coming of Saul, and treachery of the Kennites, 1Sa_23:7-12, he flieth thence to the wilderness of Ziph, with his six hundred men, 1Sa_23:13-15. Here Jonathan cometh to him, and reneweth the covenant of friendship with him, 1Sa_23:16-18. The Ziphites discover him to Saul, 1Sa_23:19-23; who pursueth him into the wilderness of Maon, 1Sa_23:24-26. He is called away by a message that the Philistines had invaded the land, 1Sa_23:27,28. David dwelleth at En-gedi, 1Sa_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, Jos_15:44, not far from the forest of Hareth, where David now was, 1Sa_22:5.
The threshing-floors usually were without the cities, in places open to the wind. See Jud_6:11 Rth_3:2, &c.
