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
.
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
.
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
.
4
And it was told
Saul
that David
was fled
to Gath
:
and he sought
no
more again for him.
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?
6
Then Achish
gave
him Ziklag
that day
:
wherefore Ziklag
pertaineth unto the kings
of Judah
un
to this
day
.
7
And the time
that David
dwelt
in the country
of the Philistines
was a full year
and four
months
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
12
And Achish
believed
David
,
saying
,
He hath made his people
Israel
utterly
to abhor
him; therefore he shall be my servant
for ever
.
