1. 1 Samuel 23:3 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

Was Keilah not also part of Judah?

1 Samuel 23:3 (NEG79)

3 Mais les gens de David lui dirent: Voici, nous ne sommes pas sans crainte ici même en Juda; que sera-ce si nous allons à Keïla contre les troupes des Philistins?

There are some commentators who take this verse to imply that Keilah was not part of Judah at this time.1 If this was the case, then it is not clear why the Philistines would be raiding their own village nor why the Lord would want David to go and intervene.
