David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.”
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.”
Now it was reported to David, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and looting the threshing floors.”
Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors.
And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing-floors.
And they sent word to David, saying, The Philistines are fighting against Keilah and taking the grain from the grain-floors.
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · 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 against his country. David considered himself the protector of the land. Thus 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.
