So the men of Kiriath Jearim came and got the ark of the Lord. They brought it up to Abinadab’s house on the hill. They set his son Eleazar apart to guard the ark.The ark remained at Kiriath Jearim for a long time. It was there for a full 20 years. Then all the Israelites turned back to the Lord.

Here are the words we heard in Ephrathah. We heard them again in the fields of Kiriath Jearim.

Saul said to Ahijah the priest,“ Bring the ark of God.” At that time it was with the Israelites.

David learned that Saul was planning to attack him. So he said to Abiathar the priest,“ Bring the linen apron.”Then David said,“ Lord, you are the God of Israel. I know for sure that Saul plans to come to Keilah. He plans to destroy the town because of me.Will the citizens of Keilah hand me over to him? Will Saul come down here, as I’ve heard he would? Lord, you are the God of Israel. Please answer me.” The Lord said,“ He will come down.”Again David asked,“ Will the citizens of Keilah hand me and my men over to Saul?” And the Lord said,“ They will.”

So he asked the Lord for advice. He said,“ Should I go and attack those Philistines?” The Lord answered him,“ Go and attack them. Save Keilah.”

Saul said,“ Let’s go down and chase after the Philistines tonight. Let’s not leave even one of them alive. Let’s take everything they have before morning.”“ Do what you think is best,” they replied. But the priest said,“ Let’s ask God for advice first.”

Was that day the first time I asked God a question for him? Of course not! Please don’t bring charges against me. Please don’t bring charges against anyone in my family. I don’t know anything at all about this whole matter.”

Ahimelek asked the Lord a question for David. He also gave him food and the sword of Goliath, the Philistine.”
