1 SAMUEL 23:2 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Therefore David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and attack these Philistines? — David's *va'yishal David et YHWH le'mor ha'elechu v'hikaiti et Philishim ha'eleh*, inquired of the LORD, shows his dependence on divine guidance. The consultation with the ephod (through the priest Abiathar) represents David's piety, his refusal to act without seeking the LORD's direction.
