Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Samuel 23:3

3 And Davids men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah : how much more then if we com[illegible: 1+ letters] to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines ?

i. e. In this part of Iudah, whereas yet we have no Army to oppose us: for else Keilah also was in Iudah.

When we shall have a Potent Enemy before us, the Philistines, and, it may be, another behind us, even Saul, who probably will come forth, either to resist the Philistines, or to intercept us.
