  • Jonah 1:10-17 : 10 Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, Why have you done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them. 11 Then they said to him, What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm for us? for the sea was rough, and was tempestuous. 12 And he said to them, Take me up, and throw me into the sea; so shall the sea be calm for you: for I know that for my sake this great storm is upon you. 13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to land; but they could not: for the sea worked, and was tempestuous against them. 14 Therefore they cried to the LORD, and said, We beseech you, O LORD, we beseech you, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for you, O LORD, have done as it pleased you. 15 So they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging. 16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD, and made vows. 17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah.

  • 1 Sam 27:1-9 : 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 quickly escape into the land of the Philistines; then Saul will despair of me, to seek me any longer in any territory of Israel. Thus I will escape out of his hand. 2 And David arose, and he passed over with 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 man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite, and Abigail the Carmelite, Nabal's wife. 4 And it was told to Saul that David had fled to Gath, and he sought no more for him. 5 And David said to Achish, If I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town 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 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, the Girzites, and the Amalekites, for those nations were the inhabitants of the land from long ago, as you go to Shur, even to the land of Egypt. 9 And David struck the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothes, and returned and came to Achish. 10 And Achish said, Where have you made a raid today? And David said, Against the south of Judah, against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites. 11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring news to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, Thus did David, and so will be his way all the time he dwells in the country of the Philistines. 12 And Achish believed David, saying, He has made his people Israel utterly detest him; therefore he will be my servant forever.
