1 Samuel 23:11 meaning and explanation
Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD, God of Israel, please tell Your servant.” “He will,” said the LORD.
1 Samuel 23:11, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
David has just rescued Keilah from the Philistines, and now he asks God two things through the ephod that Abiathar the priest brought: whether Saul will come down and whether the townspeople will hand him over. God answers both with a single "He will." The verse shows David bringing his danger and his uncertainty directly to God rather than assuming that the town he saved will stay loyal.
