1 SAMUEL 23:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.”
And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines and brought away their livestock, and smote them with a great slaughter — David's *va'yetzet David v'anshe... va'yelagach ba'Philishim v'nasa et michnehem* (brought away their livestock and smote them with great slaughter) demonstrates both military success and economic recovery. The *vayak'am nega gadol* (great slaughter) suggests comprehensive victory, the routing of the Philistine force.
