1 Samuel 27:1

Rotherham(i) 1 And David said, unto his own heart, Now, shall I be swept off, in a single day, by the hand of Saul,––there is nothing for me better than that I, escape, into the land of the Philistines, so shall Saul give up seeking for me any more, in any of the bounds of Israel, so shall I escape out of his hand.
