I trust in the Lord for protection. So why do you say to me,“ Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety!

Once during the harvest, when David was at the cave of Adullam, the Philistine army was camped in the valley of Rephaim. The Three( who were among the Thirty— an elite group among David’s fighting men) went down to meet him there.David was staying in the stronghold at the time, and a Philistine detachment had occupied the town of Bethlehem.

King Hezekiah then stationed the Levites at the Temple of the Lord with cymbals, lyres, and harps. He obeyed all the commands that the Lord had given to King David through Gad, the king’s seer, and the prophet Nathan.

They slaughtered the Philistines and took all their livestock and rescued the people of Keilah.Now when Abiathar son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, he brought the ephod with him.
