It was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. Saul said, God has delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that has gates and bars.
Saul was delighted, and David distressed, when some people from Ziph told Saul where David was hiding (19-24; see Psalms 54:0). David was saved from certain capture when Saul left hurriedly to deal with another attack by the raiding Philistines (25-29).
