1. David rescues Keilah (1-6)

Even as a fugitive, David felt responsibility for God's people. When he heard that the Philistines were attacking the city of Keilah, he inquired of the Lord to see whether he should lead his men to attack the Philistines. God told him to go and attack the Philistines and save the city, but his men were afraid. He prayed again and God assured him of victory, so he went and fought and won. He saved the city. God can give us victory regardless of our earthly condition.

2. Saul pursues David (7-14)

David's activity revealed his location to Saul. Saul called up all of his forces to besiege the innocent city of Keilah, just to capture David. But the Lord was with David, revealing to him that the residents of Keilah would hand him over to Saul. David had to go on the run again. Saul never stopped searching for David, but God never gave David into his hands.
