age old problem:
1 Samuel 19:8 1 Samuel 19 1 Samuel 19:7-9 Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him.
1 Samuel 23:1 1 Samuel 23 1 Samuel 23:1-2 When David was told, "Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are looting the threshing floors,"
1 Samuel 23:2 1 Samuel 23 1 Samuel 23:1-3 he inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" The LORD answered him, "Go, attack the Philistines and save Keilah."

1 Samuel 23:27 1 Samuel 23 1 Samuel 23:26-28 a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Come quickly! The Philistines are raiding the land."
1 Samuel 23:28 1 Samuel 23 1 Samuel 23:27-29 Then Saul broke off his pursuit of David and went to meet the Philistines. That is why they call this place Sela Hammahlekoth.
1 Samuel 24:1 1 Samuel 24 1 Samuel 24:1-2 After Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, "David is in the Desert of En Gedi."
1 Samuel 27:1 1 Samuel 27 1 Samuel 27:1-2 But David thought to himself, "One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand."
1 Samuel 28:1 1 Samuel 28 1 Samuel 28:1-2 In those days the Philistines gathered their forces to fight against Israel. Achish said to David, "You must understand that you and your men will accompany me in the army."

1 Samuel 28:19 1 Samuel 28 1 Samuel 28:18-20 The LORD will hand over both Israel and you to the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also hand over the army of Israel to the Philistines."

He has already been with me for over a year, and from the day he left Saul until now, I have found no fault in him."

2 Samuel 23:9 2 Samuel 23 2 Samuel 23:8-10 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered [at Pas Dammim] for battle. Then the men of Israel retreated,
2 Samuel 23:10 2 Samuel 23 2 Samuel 23:9-11 but he stood his ground and struck down the Philistines till his hand grew tired and froze to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day. The troops returned to Eleazar, but only to strip the dead.
