1 SAMUEL 23:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And David’s men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
And the LORD said to David, Go, and you shall smite the Philistines and save Keilah — the LORD's response (*va'yomer YHWH el David lechi v'hikaita et Philishim v'hatzalta et Keilah*) commands David to fight, promising victory. The dual purpose—*v'hatzalta*, save—frames the conflict as rescue, the restoration of Keilah to Israelite protection.
