1 Samuel 23:1
英文原文
David's growing importance, fugitive as he was, is marked by this appeal to him for deliverance from the Philistines. The "threshing floors" were the natural objects of plunder Judges 6:11. Keilah was in the Shephelah (marginal reference), probably close to the Philistine border, but its site is uncertain.

1 Samuel 23:2
如果迦得曾在哈列的树林与大卫同在（1 Samuel 22:5），并在那里为他求问耶和华（1 Samuel 23:2, 23:4），却没有随他前往基伊拉；又如果亚比亚他的逃亡正发生在大卫在基伊拉的时候，那么我们就看到一个额外显著的例子，显明神对大卫何等警醒的护理看顾——在如此危急的关头，打发亚比亚他来补上迦得的位置。
英文原文
If Gad was with David at the forest of Hareth 1 Samuel 22:5, and there inquired for him of the Lord 1 Samuel 23:2,1 Samuel 23:4, but did not accompany him to Keilah, and if Abiathar's flight occurred at the time of David's being at Keilah, we have an additional striking instance of God's watchful providential care of David in thus sending Abiathar to supply the place of Gad at so critical a moment.

1 Samuel 23:12
基伊拉人的行事，恐怕会像当年犹大人对待他们的拯救者参孙那样（Judges 15:10-13）。
英文原文
The conduct of the men of Keilah would be like that of the men of Judah to Samson their deliverer Judges 15:10-13.
14
1 Samuel 23:14
西弗位于希伯仑与隐基底之间（见旁注参考）。（1 Samuel 23:15 的“树林”，Conder 视为专有名词“Cheresh”（切雷什），并把它等同于 Khoreisa。）
英文原文
Ziph is placed between Hebron and En-gedi (marginal references). (The "wood" 1 Samuel 23:15 is by Conder taken as a proper name, "Cheresh," and identified with Khoreisa.)
16
1 Samuel 23:16
这是朋友之间彼此忠诚的动人榜样。约拿单的谦卑与无私的爱在1 Samuel 23:17中显而易见。
英文原文
A touching example of mutual fidelity between friends. The humility and unselfish love of Jonathan is apparent in 1 Samuel 23:17.
19
1 Samuel 23:19
（哈基拉被Conder认为是那条称为El Kolah的长山脊。）关于耶示扪，见页边注及Numbers 21:20。
英文原文
(Hachilah is thought by Conder to be the long ridge called El Kolah). For Jeshimon, see the margin and Numbers 21:20.
24
1 Samuel 23:24
平原 - 即亚拉巴，那片沿约旦河谷从死海延伸至革尼撒勒湖的沙漠地带，如今称为埃尔戈尔（El-Ghor）。如今阿拉伯人用这名称呼死海与亚喀巴湾之间的谷地。
英文原文
The plain - The Arabah, the desert tract which extends along the valley of the Jordan from the Dead Sea to the Lake of Gennesareth, now called El-Ghor. The word is now given by the Arabs to the valley between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Akaba.
28
1 Samuel 23:28
西拉哈玛罗结 - 见页边注。（Conder将其认定为El Kolah与玛云之间一条狭窄难行、无法通过的峡谷，称为马拉基（Malaky）。）
英文原文
Sela-hammahlekoth - See the margin. (Identified by Conder with a narrow and impassable gorge between El Kolah and Maon, called Malaky).
29
1 Samuel 23:29
隐基底（小山羊之泉）古时称为哈洗逊他玛（Genesis 14:7），因那里从前长满棕树；这名字至今仍保留在艾因杰迪（Ain-Djedy）这地名中。它距死海约二百码，位于死海西岸近中央之处。虽然通往那里的路途须经最危险陡峭的山径，那里却以植被极为繁茂著称。那一带遍布洞穴，至今仍被用作法外之徒的藏身之所。其中一个宽敞的洞穴名叫比尔毛库希（Bir-el-Mauquouchieh），内有一口适合饮羊的井，靠近哈萨萨干河（Wady Hasasa），可能就是大卫割下扫罗衣襟的那个山洞。
英文原文
En-gedi (the fountain of the kid), anciently called Hazezon-Tamar Genesis 14:7 from the palm-trees which used to grow there, still preserves its name in Ain-Djedy. It is about 200 yards from the Dead Sea, about the center of its western shore. It is marked by great luxuriance of vegetation, though the approach to it is through most dangerous and precipitous passes. The country is full of caverns, which serve as lurking places for outlaws at the present day. One of these, a spacious one called Bir-el-Mauquouchieh, with a well in it suitable for watering sheep, close to the Wady Hasasa, may have been the identical cavern in which David cut off Saul's skirt.
大卫虽在逃亡之中，其日益重要的地位却从这一事可以看出：有人向他呼求，求他救他们脱离非利士人。“禾场”历来是天然的抢掠对象（Judges 6:11）。基伊拉位于示非拉（见边注参考），可能紧邻非利士边界，但其遗址不能确定。
