Read 1 Samuel 23.1-14
In 23.1-29: Narrow escapes.
In verses 1-6: This episode illustrates the importance of Abiathar's ability to divine through the ephod as explained in v. 6.
Keilah was an independent city within Philistine territory.
Both times when David inquired his questions required an answer of yer or no, which could be determined through casting lots.
Abiathar's ephod (v. 6) was just such an instrument.
In verses 7-14: Although David was hoping to cultivate the loyalty of the people of Keilah, they were willing to betray him to Saul.
The ephod forewarned him and allowed him to escape Saul.
