And the men H582 of Kirjathjearim H7157 came, H935 and fetched H5927 up the ark H727 of the LORD, H3068 and brought H935 it into H413 the house H1004 of Abinadab H41 in the hill, H1389 and sanctified H6942 Eleazar H499 his son H1121 to keep H8104 the ark H727 of the LORD. H3068

And it came H1961 to pass, while H3117 the ark H727 stayed H3427 in Kirjathjearim, H7157 that the time H3117 was long; H7235 for it was twenty H6242 years: H8141 and all H3605 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 lamented H5091 after H310 the LORD. H3068

See, H2009 we heard H8085 of it at Ephratah: H672 we found H4672 it in the fields H7704 of the wood. H3293

And Saul H7586 said H559 to Ahiah, H281 Bring H5066 here H5066 the ark H727 of God. H430 For the ark H727 of God H430 was at that time H3117 with the children H1121 of Israel. H3478

And Saul H7586 said, H559 Let us go H3381 down H3381 after H310 the Philistines H6430 by night, H3915 and spoil H962 them until H5704 the morning H1242 light, H216 and let us not leave H7604 a man H376 of them. And they said, H559 Do H6213 whatever H3605 seems H5869 good H2896 to you. Then said H559 the priest, H3548 Let us draw near H7126 here H1988 to God. H430

And he inquired H7592 of the LORD H3068 for him, and gave H5414 him victuals, H6720 and gave H5414 him the sword H2719 of Goliath H1555 the Philistine. H6430

Did I then H3117 begin H2490 to inquire H7592 of God H430 for him? be it far H2486 from me: let not the king H4428 impute H7760 any H3605 thing H1697 to his servant, H5650 nor to all H3605 the house H1004 of my father: H1 for your servant H5650 knew H3045 nothing H3808 H1697 of all H3605 this, H2063 less H6996 or H176 more. H1419

Therefore David H1732 inquired H7592 of the LORD, H3068 saying, H559 Shall I go H3212 and smite H5221 these H428 Philistines? H6430 And the LORD H3068 said H559 to David, H1732 Go, H3212 and smite H5221 the Philistines, H6430 and save H3467 Keilah. H7084

And David H1732 knew H3045 that Saul H7586 secretly H2790 practiced H2790 mischief H7451 against H5921 him; and he said H559 to Abiathar H54 the priest, H3548 Bring H5066 here H5066 the ephod. H646

Will the men H1167 of Keilah H7084 deliver H5462 me up into his hand? H3027 will Saul H7586 come H3381 down, H3381 as your servant H5650 has heard? H8085 O LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 I beseech H4994 you, tell H5046 your servant. H5650 And the LORD H3068 said, H559 He will come H3381 down. H3381
