[1]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] in his heartH3820, I shall now perishH5595[H8735] oneH259 dayH3117 by the handH3027 of SaulH7586: there is nothing betterH2896 for me than thatH3588 I should speedilyH4422[H8736] escapeH4422[H8735] into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430; and SaulH7586 shall despairH2976[H8738] of me, to seekH1245[H8763] me any more in any coastH1366 of IsraelH3478: so shall I escapeH4422[H8738] out of his handH3027.
[2]And DavidH1732 aroseH6965[H8799], and he passed overH5674[H8799] with the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him unto AchishH397, the sonH1121 of MaochH4582, kingH4428 of GathH1661.
[3]And DavidH1732 dweltH3427[H8799] with AchishH397 at GathH1661, he and his menH582, every manH376 with his householdH1004, even DavidH1732 with his twoH8147 wivesH802, AhinoamH293 the JezreelitessH3159, and AbigailH26 the CarmelitessH3762, Nabal'sH5037 wifeH802.
[4]And it was toldH5046[H8714] SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 was fledH1272[H8804] to GathH1661: and he soughtH1245[H8763] no more againH3254[H8804][H8675][H3254] for himH8686.
[5]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto AchishH397, If I have now foundH4672[H8804] graceH2580 in thine eyesH5869, let them giveH5414[H8799] me a placeH4725 in someH259 townH5892 in the countryH7704, that I may dwellH3427[H8799] there: for why should thy servantH5650 dwellH3427[H8799] in the royalH4467 city with theeH5892?
[6]Then AchishH397 gaveH5414[H8799] him ZiklagH6860 that dayH3117: wherefore ZiklagH6860 pertaineth unto the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117.
[7]And the timeH4557[H3117] that DavidH1732 dweltH3427[H8804] in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430 was a full yearH3117 and fourH702 monthsH2320.
[8]And DavidH1732 and his menH582 went upH5927[H8799], and invadedH6584[H8799] the GeshuritesH1651, and the GezritesH1511, and the AmalekitesH6003: for thoseH2007 nations were of oldH5769 the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the landH776, as thou goestH935[H8800] to ShurH7793, even unto the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
[9]And DavidH1732 smoteH5221[H8689] the landH776, and left neither manH376 nor womanH802 aliveH2421[H8762], and took awayH3947[H8804] the sheepH6629, and the oxenH1241, and the assesH2543, and the camelsH1581, and the apparelH899, and returnedH7725[H8799], and cameH935[H8799] to AchishH397.
[10]And AchishH397 saidH559[H8799], WhitherH408 have ye made a roadH6584[H8804] to dayH3117? And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799], Against the southH5045 of JudahH3063, and against the southH5045 of the JerahmeelitesH3397, and against the southH5045 of the KenitesH7017.
[11]And DavidH1732 savedH2421[H8762] neither manH376 nor womanH802 aliveH2421[H8762], to bringH935[H8687] tidings to GathH1661, sayingH559[H8800], Lest they should tellH5046[H8686] on us, sayingH559[H8800], So didH6213[H8804] DavidH1732, and so will be his mannerH4941 all the whileH3117 he dwellethH3427[H8804] in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430.
[12]And AchishH397 believedH539[H8686] DavidH1732, sayingH559[H8800], He hath made his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 utterlyH887[H8687] to abhorH887[H8689] him; therefore he shall be my servantH5650 for everH5769.
