Gill's Notes on the Bible

So David and his men went to Keilah,.... Animated by a commission from God, and a promise of success by him:

and fought with the Philistines; encamped before Keilah:

and brought away their cattle; which they had brought with them for the support of their army; or having routed them, they pursued them into their own country, and brought off their cattle from thence:

and smote them with a great slaughter; killed great numbers of them, and put the rest to flight:

so David saved the inhabitants of Keilah; from falling into the hands of the Philistines, by timely raising the siege of the city.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 23:5. Brought away their cattle — The forage and spoil which the Philistines had taken, driving the country before them round about Keilah.
