Usage: The term "Keilah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific city that played a role in the narratives of David's life. It is mentioned in the context of David's military exploits and his interactions with the inhabitants of the city. Context: Keilah is a city located in the Shephelah, the lowland region of Judah. It is mentioned in the biblical narrative primarily in 1 Samuel 23. In this passage, David saves the city from a Philistine attack. Despite his deliverance of the city, the inhabitants later consider betraying David to King Saul, prompting David to seek divine guidance and ultimately flee the city. Keilah is also listed among the cities of Judah in Joshua 15:44. The city's strategic location made it significant in the military and political landscape of ancient Israel. The narrative of Keilah highlights themes of loyalty, divine guidance, and the precariousness of David's early leadership.
