This phrase reflects David's concern about the loyalty of the people of Keilah. The Hebrew root for "surrender" is "סגר" (sagar), which means to shut up or deliver. Historically, Keilah was a fortified city in Judah, and David had just saved it from the Philistines. Despite his recent heroics, David is aware of the political pressures and fears betrayal. This highlights the precariousness of David's situation and the fickle nature of human alliances, reminding us of the need to place our trust in God rather than in man. Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD, God of Israel, please tell Your servant And the LORD said, 'He will.' "And the Lord said, He will come down." " And the Lord said, They will deliver thee up." Thus the answer of the Urim and Thummin was given to the questions in their logical order. The Talmud has an interesting comment here. In consulting the Urim and Thummim, the enquirer is not to ask about two things at a time, for if he does, he will be answered about one only, and only about the one he first uttered, as it is said (1Samuel 23:11-12). David asked first "Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hands?" and then he asked also "Will Saul come down?" The answer was to the second query. "And the Lord said He will come down." But it has just been asserted that the enquirer will be answered only about the one thing he first uttered. To this it is replied, David framed his enquiry not in good order, but the reply of the Urim and Thummim was as though the enquiry had been in proper order. Hence when David became aware that his question had not been put properly, he repeated it again in better order, as it has been said, "Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the Lord said, They will deliver thee up."--Treatise Yoma, fol. 73, Colossians 1.
