[1] David said in his heart, “I will now perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel. So I will escape out of his hand.” [2] David arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath. [3] David lived 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] Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, so he stopped looking for him. [5] David said to Achish, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?” [6] Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day. [7] The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months. [8] David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land who were of old, on the way to Shur, even to the land of Egypt. [9] David struck the land, and saved no man or woman alive, and took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned, and came to Achish. [10] Achish said, “Against whom have you made a raid today?”David said, “Against the South of Judah, against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.” [11] David saved neither man nor woman alive to bring them to Gath, saying, “Lest they should tell about us, saying, ‘David did this, and this has been his way all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’” [12] Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he will be my servant forever.”
King James Version
[1] And David H1732 said H559 in his heart, H3820 I shall now perish H5595§ one H259 day H3117 by the hand H3027 of Saul: H7586 there is nothing better H2896 for me than that H3588 I should speedily H4422 escape H4422 into the land H776 of the Philistines; H6430 and Saul H7586 shall despair H2976 of me, to seek H1245 me any more in any coast H1366 of Israel: H3478 so shall I escape H4422 out of H4480 his hand. H3027 [2] And David H1732 arose, H6965 and he passed over H5674 with H5973 the six H8337 hundred H3967 men H376 that were with him unto Achish, H397 the son H1121 of Maoch, H4582 king H4428 of Gath. H1661 [3] And David H1732 dwelt H3427 with Achish H397 at Gath, H1661 he and his men, H582 every man H376 with his household, H1004 even David H1732 with his two H8147 wives, H802 Ahinoam H293 the Jezreelitess, H3159 and Abigail H26 the Carmelitess, H3762 Nabal’s H5037 wife. H802 [4] And it was told H5046 Saul H7586 that David H1732 was fled H1272 to Gath: H1661 and he sought H1245 no more again H3254 H3254 for him. [5] And David H1732 said H559 unto H413 Achish, H397 If I have now found H4672 grace H2580 in thine eyes, H5869 let them give H5414 me a place H4725 in some H259 town H5892 in the country, H7704 that I may dwell H3427 there: for why should thy servant H5650 dwell H3427 in the royal H4467 city H5892 with thee? [6] Then Achish H397 gave H5414 him Ziklag H6860 that day: H3117 wherefore Ziklag H6860 pertaineth unto the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 unto H5704 this H2088 day. H3117 [7] And the time H4557§ H3117 that David H1732 dwelt H3427 in the country H7704 of the Philistines H6430 was a full year H3117§ and four H702 months. H2320 [8] And David H1732 and his men H582 went up, H5927 and invaded H6584 the Geshurites, H1651 and the Gezrites, H1511§ and the Amalekites: H6003 for H3588 those H2007 nations were of old H5769 the inhabitants H3427 of the land, H776 as thou goest H935 to Shur, H7793 even unto the land H776 of Egypt. H4714 [9] And David H1732 smote H5221 H853 the land, H776 and left neither man H376 nor woman H802 alive, H2421 and took away H3947 the sheep, H6629 and the oxen, H1241 and the asses, H2543 and the camels, H1581 and the apparel, H899 and returned, H7725 and came H935 to Achish. H397 [10] And Achish H397 said, H559 Whither H408 have ye made a road H6584 to day? H3117 And David H1732 said, H559 Against H5921 the south H5045 of Judah, H3063 and against the south H5045 of the Jerahmeelites, H3397 and against the south H5045 of the Kenites. H7017 [11] And David H1732 saved H2421 neither man H376 nor woman H802 alive, H2421 to bring H935 tidings to Gath, H1661 saying, H559 Lest they should tell H5046 on H5921 us, saying, H559 So H3541 did H6213 David, H1732 and so will be his manner H4941 all H3605 the while H3117 he dwelleth H3427 in the country H7704 of the Philistines. H6430 [12] And Achish H397 believed H539 David, H1732 saying, H559 He hath made his people H5971 Israel H3478 utterly H887 to abhor H887§ him; therefore he shall be my servant H5650 for ever. H5769
