1
Then David
said
to himself,
"Now
I will perish
one
day
by the hand
of
Saul
.
There is nothing
better
for me than
to escape
into the land
of the Philistines.
Saul
then will despair
of searching
for me anymore
in all
the territory
of Israel,
and I will escape
from his hand."
2
So David
arose
and crossed over,
he and the six
hundred
men
who
were with him, to Achish
the son
of Maoch,
king
of Gath.
3
And David
lived
with Achish
at Gath,
he and his men,
each
with his household,
even David
with his two
wives,
Ahinoam
the Jezreelitess,
and Abigail
the Carmelitess,
Nabal's
widow.
4
Now it was told
Saul
that David
had fled
to Gath,
so he no
longer
searched
for him.
5
Then David
said
to Achish,
"If
now
I have found
favor
in your sight,
let them give
me a place
in one
of the cities
in the country,
that I may
live
there;
for why
should your servant
live
in the royal
city
with you?"
6
So Achish
gave
him
Ziklag
that day;
therefore
Ziklag
has
belonged to the kings
of Judah
to this
day.
7
The number
of days
that David
lived
in the country
of the Philistines
was a year
and four
months.
8
Now David
and his men
went
up and raided
the Geshurites
and the Girzites
and the Amalekites;
for they were the inhabitants
of the land
from ancient times,
as you come
to Shur
even as far
as the land
of Egypt.
9
David
attacked
the land
and did not leave
a man
or a woman
alive,
and he took
away the sheep,
the cattle,
the donkeys,
the camels,
and the clothing.
Then he returned
and came
to Achish.
10
Now Achish
said,
"Where
have you made a raid
today?"
And David
said,
"Against
the Negev
of Judah
and against
the Negev
of the Jerahmeelites
and against
the Negev
of the Kenites."
11
David
did not leave
a man
or a woman
alive
to bring
to Gath,
saying,
"Otherwise
they will tell
about
us,
saying,
'So
has
David
done
and so
has been his practice
all
the time
he has lived
in the country
of the Philistines.'"
12
So Achish
believed
David,
saying,
"He has surely
made himself odious
among his people
Israel;
therefore he will become
my servant
forever."
