1 SAMUEL 23:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
Will the men of Keilah hand me over into his hand? Will Saul come down as your servant has heard? — David's dual question seeks confirmation of Saul's intentions and the loyalty of Keilah's citizens. The *yimkerunim Saul et yadav*, will they hand me over, expresses David's uncertainty about whether the rescued city will prove loyal or willing to betray him to save themselves.
