12 Then David said, “Will the citizens of Keilah hand me and my men over to Saul?” And the Lord said, “(A)They will hand you over.” 13 Then David and his men, (B)about six hundred, rose up and departed from Keilah, and they went (C)wherever they could go. When it was reported to Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, he gave up [a]the pursuit. 14 David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of (D)Ziph.
