    1David said to himself, "One day I will perish at the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up looking for me throughout the territory of Israel, and I will be safe from him."

    2So David arose and went over with his six hundred men to Achish son of Maoch, king of Gath.

    3David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each with their households, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail, the widow of Nabal from Carmel.

    4When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer pursued him.

    5Then David said to Achish, "If I have found favor in your eyes, let me have a place in one of the country towns, so that I may live there. Why should your servant remain living in the royal city with you?"

    6So that day, Achish gave him Ziklag, and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since.

    7David lived in Philistine territory for a year and four months.

    8Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites, for they had been living in the land from ancient times, from the route to Shur as far as the land of Egypt.

    9David attacked the land and did not leave alive a man or woman. He took sheep, cattle, donkeys, camels, and clothing, and then he returned and went to Achish.

    7Now turn back and go in peace, so you don’t displease the Philistine rulers.

    8David said to Achish, "But what have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day I first came to you until now, that I may not go and fight the enemies of my lord the king?"

    9Achish answered David, "I know that you are as pleasing in my eyes as an angel of God. Nevertheless, the Philistine commanders have said, 'He must not go up with us into battle.'
