And David’s men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?

KJV

Et dixerunt viri qui erant cum David ad eum : Ecce nos hic in Judæa consistentes timemus : quanto magis si ierimus in Ceilam adversum agmina Philisthinorum ?

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ Δαυεὶδ πρὸς αὐτόν Ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἐνταῦθα ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φοβούμεθα, καὶ πῶς ἔσται ἐὰν πορευθῶμεν εἰς Κεειλά; εἰς τὰ σκῦλα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων εἰσπορευσόμεθα;

LXX

And David’s men said unto him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
