David, knowing that Saul is devising mischief, calls for the ephod and departs out of Keilah

사울의 계교를 안 다윗이 에봇을 가져오라 하고 그일라를 떠남

1 Samuel 23:6–13: the text says, “When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.” Saul is told that David has come to Keilah. Saul says, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he is shut in by entering into a town that has gates and bars.” Saul summons all the people to war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men. David knows that Saul is devising mischief against him. He says to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.” Then David says, “O LORD, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake. Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? LORD, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” The LORD says, “He will come down.” Then David says, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” The LORD says, “They will deliver you up.” Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arise and depart out of Keilah and go wherever they can go. Saul is told that David has escaped from Keilah; and he gives up going there.
