1 Samuel 27:8 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 But David thought to himself, "Saul will catch me some day. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up looking for me in Israel. That way I will escape from Saul."
2 So David and his 600 men left Israel and went to Achish son of Maoch. Achish was king of Gath.
3 David, his men, and their families lived in Gath with Achish. David had his two wives with him—Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel. Abigail was the widow of Nabal.
4 People told Saul that David had run away to Gath, so Saul stopped looking for him.
5 David said to Achish, "If you are pleased with me, give me a place in one of the country towns. I am only your servant. I should live there, not here with you in this royal city."
6 That day Achish gave David the town of Ziklag. And Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since.
7 David lived with the Philistines one year and four months.
8 David and his men went to fight the Amalekites and Geshurites who lived in the area from Telem near Shur all the way to Egypt. David's men defeated them and took their wealth.
9 David defeated the people in that area. He took all their sheep, cattle, donkeys, camels, and clothes and brought them back to Achish. But David didn't let any of those people live.
10 David did this many times. Each time Achish asked David where he fought and took those things. David said, "I fought against the southern part of Judah," or "I fought against the southern part of Jerahmeel," or "I fought against the southern part of the Kenizzites."
11 David never brought a man or woman alive to Gath. He thought, "If we let anyone live, they might tell Achish what I really did." David did this all the time he lived in the Philistine land.
12 Achish began to trust David and said to himself, "Now David's own people hate him. The Israelites hate him very much. Now he will serve me forever."

2 And David H1732 MMS arose H6965 W-VQY3MS , and he H1931 PPRO-3MS passed over H5674 W-VQY3MS with the six H8337 W-RFS hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS that H834 RPRO were with H5973 PREP-3MS him unto H413 PREP Achish H397 , the son H1121 of Maoch H4582 , king H4428 NMS of Gath H1661 .

6 Then Achish H397 gave H5414 W-VQY3MS him Ziklag H6860 that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS : wherefore H3651 L-ADV Ziklag H6860 pertaineth H1961 VQQ3FS unto the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .

9 And David H1732 smote H5221 the land H776 D-GFS , and left H2421 VPY3MS neither H3808 W-NPAR man H376 NMS nor woman H802 alive , and took away H3947 W-VQQ3MS the sheep H6629 NMS , and the oxen H1241 W-NMS , and the asses H2543 W-NMP , and the camels H1581 , and the apparel H899 , and returned H7725 , and came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Achish H397 .

12 And Achish H397 believed H539 David H1732 , saying H559 L-VQFC , He hath made his people H5971 B-CMS-3MS Israel H3478 utterly to abhor H887 him ; therefore he shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS my servant H5650 L-CMS forever H5769 NMS .
