1SA-27:1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one
day by
the hand of Saul: [there is] nothing better for me than that I
should
speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall
despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so
shall I
escape out of his hand.
1SA-27:2 And David arose, and he passed over with the six
hundred men
that [were] with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
1SA-27:3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men,
every
man with his household, [even] David with his two wives, Ahinoam
the
Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
1SA-27:4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and
he
sought no more again for him.
1SA-27:5 And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace
in
thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country,
that
I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal
city
with thee?
1SA-27:6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag
pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
1SA-27:7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the
Philistines was a full year and four months.
1SA-27:8 And David and his men went up, and invaded the
Geshurites,
and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those [nations were]
of old
the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto
the land
of Egypt.
1SA-27:9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor
woman
alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and
the
camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
1SA-27:10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day?
And
David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of
the
Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
1SA-27:11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring
[tidings] to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying,
So did
David, and so [will be] his manner all the while he dwelleth in
the
country of the Philistines.
1SA-27:12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his
people
Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for
ever.
