SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:4
Entonces David volvió a consultar al SEÑOR. Y el SEÑOR le respondió, y dijo: Levántate, desciende a Keila, que yo entregaré en tus manos a los filisteos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 23:4
Verse 4. David inquired of the Lord yet again] This was to satisfy his men, who made the strong objections mentioned in the preceding verse.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. Then David inquired of the Lord yet again , etc.] Not for his own sake, who firmly believed it was the will of God he should go and succeed, but for the sake of his men, and to remove the doubts and fears that hung on their minds: and the Lord answered him, and said, arise, go down to Keilah ; immediately, make no stay, nor hesitate about it, but go with all haste to the relief of the place: for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hands ; which is still more explicit, and is a promise not only of delivering Keilah out of the hands of the Philistines, but of delivering them into David’s hands, and so of an entire: victory; and therefore none of David’s men had anything to fear after such a declaration of the will of God.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-6 - When princes persecute God's people, let them expect vexation on all sides. The way for any country to be quiet, is to let God's church be quiet in it: if Saul fight against David, the Philistines fight agains his country. David considered himself the protector of the land. Thu did the Saviour Jesus, and left us an example. Those are unlike David who sullenly decline to do good, if they are not rewarded for services.
