1 Samuel 23

David seeks YHWH's guidance and delivers the city of Keilah from Philistine attack, but when YHWH warns him that the people of Keilah would betray him to Saul, David flees.[1] Jonathan renews his covenant with David at Horesh, and when Saul pursues David at Ziph, YHWH providentially delivers David by calling Saul away to fight the Philistines.[1]
