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
若是迦得在赫列的樹林與大衛同在（1 Samuel 22:5），並在那裏為他求問耶和華（1 Samuel 23:2, 1 Samuel 23:4），卻沒有跟隨他到基伊拉去；又若是亞比亞他的逃亡發生在大衛在基伊拉的時候，那麼我們就看到又一個顯著的實例，表明神對大衛有細心的護理看顧：在如此危急的時刻，差亞比亞他來補上迦得的位置。
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.
12
1 Samuel 23:12
基伊拉人的行徑，恐怕會像猶大人對待他們的拯救者參孫那樣（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
西弗位於希伯崙與隱基底之間（頁邊參考經文）。（1 Samuel 23:15 的「樹林」，Conder 視之為專有名詞「Cheresh」，並把它考定為 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
這是朋友之間彼此忠誠的一個動人實例。約拿單的謙卑與無私的愛在 1 Samuel 23:17 中顯露無遺。
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——Conder 認為即那道名為 El Kolah 的長長山脊。）關於耶示門，見邊註及 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」——即亞拉巴，指沿約但河谷從死海延伸至革尼撒勒湖的荒漠地帶，今稱 El-Ghor。這名稱如今被亞拉伯人用來稱呼死海與阿卡巴灣之間的谷地。
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
「西拉哈瑪希羅結」——見邊註。（Conder 把這地認定為 El Kolah 與瑪雲之間一道狹窄難行的峽谷，名為 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
隱基底（意即「山羊羔的泉源」）古時稱為哈洗遜他瑪（Genesis 14:7），因那裏從前長滿棕樹；這名字至今仍保存在 Ain-Djedy 這地名之中。它距死海約二百碼，位於死海西岸近乎中央之處。那裏以草木極其繁茂見稱，只是前往的路上須經過極其危險陡峭的山徑。那一帶洞穴遍布，至今仍是亡命之徒藏身之所。其中一個名為 Bir-el-Mauquouchieh 的寬敞洞穴，內有一口適合飲羊的水井，靠近 Wady Hasasa，可能就是大衛割下掃羅衣襟的那個洞穴。
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.
大衛雖是逃亡者，他日益增長的重要地位卻由這件事標明出來：有人向他求助，求他拯救他們脫離非利士人。「打穀場」向來是天然的被劫掠對象（Judges 6:11）。基伊拉位於示非拉（見邊註串珠），大概緊鄰非利士邊界，但其位置未能確定。
