1 - In verses 1-5, why were David's men afraid to fight to save Keilah? How is David's direction becoming more godly? How does David give assurance to his men? How does David behave, "kingly," in saving Keilah? Why doesn't Saul?

2 – In verses 6-14, Why might David think he is safe in Keilah? Why does Saul think he has David trapped? After saving them from the Philistines, why would the people of Keilah give David to Saul? Does David find fault for this?

3 – In verses 15-18, How does Jonathan, "strengthen David's Hand?" Of what does he remind David? How is Jonathan like Barnabas in Acts 11:22-24? (4:36; 9:26) How is this an example of how Christians should give brotherly support and encouragement to each other? How is encouragement different from flattery? What makes it difficult? How is this passage more of an exhortation to be a Jonathan?

4 – Read Ecc 4:9-12. How can we apply this scripture to the passage today? To our church? To our friends?
