And David said in his heart, saying, Now I shall be added in day into of Saul; and there is no good thing to me unless I should come through safe into of the Philistines, and should spare seeking me in every border of Israel, and thus I shall be delivered from out of his hand.
And David rose up and passed over, he and the six hundred men with him, and he went to Achish, son of Maoch, king of Gath.
And David sat with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each also and David and both of his wives Ahinoam and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
And it was announced to Saul that David fled into Gath, and he did not proceed any longer to seek him.
And David said to Achish, If indeed has found favor in your eyes, give indeed to me a place in one of the cities of the ones in the country! and I shall settle there. For why settle in a city reigning with you?
And gave in that day Ziklag. Because of this Ziklag came to the king of Judea until this day.
And came to pass the number of the days which David stayed in of the Philistines four months.
And David ascended and his men, and they made an attack upon the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and against the Amalekites. For was inhabited by the one from Shur and unto of Egypt.
And he struck the land, and did not bring forth alive man or woman; and they took flocks, and herds, and donkeys, and camels, and clothes. And they returned and came to Achish.
And Achish said to David, Upon whom did you attack today? And David said to Achish, To in Judea, and to of Jerahmeel, and to of the Kenite.
And a man to bring unto Gath, saying, Lest they announce against us, saying, Thus David does. And thus all the days which David settled in of the Philistines.
And David was trusted by Achish, saying, With shame he is being shamed by his people in Israel, and he will be my a servant into the eon.
