“ Get your swords!” was David’s reply as he strapped on his own. Then 400 men started off with David, and 200 remained behind to guard their equipment.

So David and his men, numbering about 600, left Keilah at once and moved from place to place. When it was reported to Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, he called off the expedition.

Even zeal is not good without knowledge, and the one who acts hastily sins.

A person’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.

Then the men of Israel took some of their provisions, but did not seek the Lord’s counsel.

Afterward, David’s conscience bothered him because he had cut off the corner of Saul’s robe.He said to his men,“ I swear before the Lord: I would never do such a thing to my lord, the Lord’s anointed. I will never lift my hand against him, since he is the Lord’s anointed.”

Patience is better than power, and controlling one’s temper, than capturing a city.

Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for His wrath. For it is written: Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay, says the Lord.But If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. For in so doing you will be heaping fiery coals on his head.Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.

A patient person shows great understanding, but a quick-tempered one promotes foolishness.

Don’t take a matter to court hastily. Otherwise, what will you do afterward if your opponent humiliates you?

My dearly loved brothers, understand this: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger,for man’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.

When David came to the 200 men who had been too exhausted to go with him and had been left at the Wadi Besor, they came out to meet him and to meet the troops with him. When David approached the men, he greeted them,but all the corrupt and worthless men among those who had gone with David argued,“ Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give any of the plunder we recovered to them except for each man’s wife and children. They may take them and go.”But David said,“ My brothers, you must not do this with what the Lord has given us. He protected us and handed over to us the raiders who came against us.Who can agree to your proposal? The share of the one who goes into battle is to be the same as the share of the one who remains with the supplies. They will share equally.”

David and the 600 men with him went as far as the Wadi Besor, where 200 men who were to remain behind would stop.They stopped because they were too exhausted to cross the Wadi Besor. David and 400 of the men continued in pursuit.
