1 Samuel 27:1 (WEB) World English Bible

1 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 escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
2 David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
4 It was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
5 David said to Achish, If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities 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: why Ziklag pertains to the kings of Judah to this day.
7 The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
8 David and his men went up, and made a raid on the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those nations were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, as you go to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.
9 David struck the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the clothing; and he returned, and came to Achish.
10 Achish said, Against whom have you made a raid today? David said, Against the South of Judah, and against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.
11 David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David, and so has been his manner all the while he has lived in the country of the Philistines.
12 Achish believed David, saying, He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant forever.
1 And David H1732 said H559 in H413 his heart, H3820 I shall now H6258 perish H5595 one H259 day H3117 by the hand H3027 of Saul: H7586 there is nothing H369 better H2896 for me than H3588 that I should speedily escape H4422 H4422 into H413 the land H776 of the Philistines; H6430 and Saul H7586 shall despair H2976 of H4480 me , to seek H1245 me any more H5750 in any H3605 coast H1366 of Israel: H3478 so shall I escape H4422 out of his hand H4480 H3027 .
2 And David H1732 arose, H6965 and he H1931 passed over H5674 with the six H8337 hundred H3967 men H376 that H834 were with H5973 him unto H413 Achish, H397 the son H1121 of Maoch, H4582 king H4428 of Gath. H1661
3 And David H1732 dwelt H3427 with H5973 Achish H397 at Gath, H1661 he H1931 and his men, H376 every man H376 with his household, H1004 even David H1732 with his two H8147 wives, H802 Ahinoam H293 the Jezreelitess, H3159 and Abigail H26 the Carmelitess, H3761 Nabal's H5037 wife. H802
4 And it was told H5046 Saul H7586 that H3588 David H1732 was fled H1272 to Gath: H1661 and he sought H1245 no H3808 more H5750 again H3254 for him.
5 And David H1732 said H559 unto H413 Achish, H397 If H518 I have now H4994 found H4672 grace H2580 in thine eyes, H5869 let them give H5414 me a place H4725 in some H259 town H5892 in the country, H7704 that I may dwell H3427 there: H8033 for why H4100 should thy servant H5650 dwell H3427 in the royal H4467 city H5892 with H5973 thee?
6 Then Achish H397 gave H5414 him H853 Ziklag H6860 that H1931 day: H3117 wherefore H3651 Ziklag H6860 pertaineth H1961 unto the kings H4428 of Judah H3063 unto H5704 this H2088 day. H3117
7 And the time H3117 that H834 David H1732 dwelt H3427 in the country H7704 of the Philistines H6430 was H1961 a full H4557 year H3117 and four H702 months. H2320
8 And David H1732 and his men H376 went up, H5927 and invaded H6584 H413 the Geshurites, H1651 and the Gezrites, H1511 and the Amalekites: H6003 for H3588 those H2007 nations were of old H834 H4480 H5769 the inhabitants H3427 of the land, H776 as thou goest H935 to Shur, H7793 even unto H5704 the land H776 of Egypt. H4714
9 And David H1732 smote H5221 H853 the land, H776 and left H2421 neither H3808 man H376 nor woman H802 alive , and took away H3947 the sheep, H6629 and the oxen, H1241 and the asses, H2543 and the camels, H1581 and the apparel, H899 and returned, H7725 and came H935 to H413 Achish. H397
10 And Achish H397 said, H559 Whither H408 have ye made a road H6584 today H3117 ? And David H1732 said, H559 Against H5921 the south H5045 of Judah, H3063 and against H5921 the south H5045 of the Jerahmeelites, H3397 and against H413 the south H5045 of the Kenites. H7017
11 And David H1732 saved H2421 neither H3808 man H376 nor woman H802 alive , to bring H935 tidings to Gath, H1661 saying, H559 Lest H6435 they should tell H5046 on H5921 us, saying, H559 So H3541 did H6213 David, H1732 and so H3541 will be his manner H4941 all H3605 the while H3117 he dwelleth H3427 in the country H7704 of the Philistines. H6430
12 And Achish H397 believed H539 David, H1732 saying, H559 He hath made his people H5971 Israel H3478 utterly to abhor H887 H887 him ; therefore he shall be H1961 my servant H5650 forever. H5769
