There is nothing better for me than that I should utterly 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.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/27-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/27-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each with his household, <i>even</i> David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/27-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>And it was told to Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him. <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/27-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>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?” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/27-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/27-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And the number of days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months. <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/27-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/27-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>And David struck 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/27-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And Achish said, “Where have you made a raid today?” And David said, “Against the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>Negev of Judah and against the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>Negev of the Jerahmeelites and against the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>Negev of the Kenites.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/27-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, “Lest they tell about us, saying, ‘So has David done and so <i>has been</i> his custom all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’” <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_samuel/27-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>So Achish believed David, saying, “He has surely made himself odious among his people Israel; therefore he will become my servant forever.”<A name="fn"></a></p><br /><br /><span class="fnverse">10</span> South country<br><span class="fnverse">10</span> South country<br><span class="fnverse">10</span> South country<br></div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">Legacy Standard Bible Copyright ©2021 by The Lockman Foundation<br>All rights reserved.
