1 SAMUEL 23:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“Then David enquired of the Lord yet again. And the Lord answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand.”
But David's men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines? — David's followers (*anshey David va'yomru alav hineh nachnau yireim kodesh b'Yehuda*) express fear, doubting the wisdom of marching against Philistine forces. Their fear is reasonable; they are an untrained band, not an organized army. Yet their fear contradicts the LORD's assurance.
