  1 G2532 And G2036 David said G*   G1722 in G3588   G2588 his heart, G1473   G3004 saying, G3568 Now G4369 I shall be added G1722 in G2250 [2day G1520 1one] G1519 into G5495 the hands G* of Saul; G2532 and G3756 there is no G1510.2.3   G1473 good thing to me G18   G1437 unless G3361   G1295 I should come through safe G1519 into G1093 the land G246 of the Philistines, G2532 and G447 [2should spare G575 3of G1473 4me G* 1Saul], G3588   G2212 seeking G1473 me G1519 in G3956 every G3725 border G* of Israel, G2532 and thus G4982 I shall be delivered G1537 from out of G5495 his hand. G1473  
  2 G2532 And G450 David rose up G*   G2532 and G1224 passed over, G1473 he G2532 and G3588 the G1812 six hundred G435 men G3588   G3326 with G1473 him, G2532 and G4198 he went G4314 to G* Achish, G5207 son G* of Maoch, G935 king G* of Gath.
  3 G2532 And G2523 David sat G*   G3326 with G* Achish G1722 in G* Gath, G1473 he G2532 and G3588   G435 his men, G1473   G1538 each G2532 also G3588   G3624 with his house, G1473   G2532 and G* David G2532 and G297 both G3588   G1135 of his wives -- G1473   G* Ahinoam G* the Jezreelitess, G2532 and G* Abigail G3588 the G1135 wife G* of Nabal G3588 the G* Carmelite.
  4 G2532 And G312 it was announced G3588   G* to Saul G3754 that G5343 David fled G*   G1519 into G* Gath, G2532 and G3756 he did not G4369 proceed G2089 any longer G2212 to seek G1473 him.
  5 G2532 And G2036 David said G*   G4314 to G* Achish, G1487 If G1211 indeed G2147 [2has found G3588   G1401 1your servant] G1473   G5484 favor G1722 in G3788 your eyes, G1473   G1325 give G1211 indeed G1473 to me G5117 a place G1722 in G1520 one G3588 of the G4172 cities G3588 of the ones G2596 in the G68 country! G2532 and G2521 I shall settle G1563 there. G2532 For G2444 why G2521 [2settle G3588   G1401 1 does your servant] G1473   G1722 in G4172 a city G936 reigning G3326 with G1473 you?
  6 G2532 And G1325 [2gave G1473 3to him G* 1Achish] G1722 in G3588   G2250 that day G1565   G3588   G* Ziklag. G1223 Because of G3778 this G1096 Ziklag came G*   G3588 to the G935 king G3588   G* of Judea G2193 until G3588   G2250 this day. G3778  
  7 G2532 And G1096 came to pass G3588 the G706 number G3588 of the G2250 days G3739 which G2523 David stayed G*   G1722 in G68 the country G3588 of the G246 Philistines -- G5064 four G3376 months.
  8 G2532 And G305 David ascended G*   G2532 and G3588   G435 his men, G1473   G2532 and G2007 they made an attack G1909 upon G3588 the G* Geshurites, G2532 and G3588 the G* Gezrites, G2532 and G1909 against G3588 the G* Amalekites. G3754 For G2730 [3was inhabited G3588 1the G1093 2land] G3588 by the one G575 from G* Shur G2532 and G2193 unto G1093 the land G* of Egypt.
  9 G2532 And G5180 he struck G3588 the G1093 land, G2532 and G3756 did not G2225 bring forth alive G435 man G2228 or G1135 woman; G2532 and G2983 they took G4168 flocks, G2532 and G1009.3 herds, G2532 and G3688 donkeys, G2532 and G2574 camels, G2532 and G2441 clothes. G2532 And G390 they returned G2532 and G2064 came G4314 to G* Achish.
  10 G2532 And G2036 Achish said G*   G4314 to G* David, G1909 Upon G5100 whom did G2007 you attack G4594 today? G2532 And G2036 David said G*   G4314 to G* Achish, G2596 To G3558 the south G3588   G* in Judea, G2532 and G2596 to G3558 the south G* of Jerahmeel, G2532 and G2596 to G3558 the south G3588 of the G* Kenite.
  11 G2532 And G435 [4a man G2532 5and G1135 6woman G3756 2did not G2225 3bring forth alive G* 1David] G3588   G1521 to bring G1519 unto G* Gath, G3004 saying, G3379 Lest G312 they announce G2596 against G1473 us, G3004 saying, G3592 Thus G* David G4160 does. G2532 And G3592 thus G3588   G1345 was his ordinance G1473   G3956 all G3588 the G2250 days G3739 which G2521 David settled G*   G1722 in G68 the country G3588 of the G246 Philistines.
  12 G2532 And G4100 David was trusted G*   G1722 by G3588   G* Achish, G3004 saying, G153 With shame G153 he is being shamed G1722 by G3588   G2992 his people G1473   G1722 in G3588   G* Israel, G2532 and G1510.8.3 he will be G1473 my G1401 a servant G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon.

  2 H1732 And David H6965 arose [H8799]   H5674 , and he passed over [H8799]   H8337 with the six H3967 hundred H376 men H397 that were with him unto Achish H1121 , the son H4582 of Maoch H4428 , king H1661 of Gath.
  3 H1732 And David H3427 dwelt [H8799]   H397 with Achish H1661 at Gath H582 , he and his men H376 , every man H1004 with his household H1732 , even David H8147 with his two H802 wives H293 , Ahinoam H3159 the Jezreelitess H26 , and Abigail H3762 the Carmelitess H5037 , Nabal's H802 wife.
  4 H5046 And it was told [H8714]   H7586 Saul H1732 that David H1272 was fled [H8804]   H1661 to Gath H1245 : and he sought [H8763]   H3254 no more again [H8804]   [H8675]   H3254   [H8686]   for him.
  5 H1732 And David H559 said [H8799]   H397 unto Achish H4672 , If I have now found [H8804]   H2580 grace H5869 in thine eyes H5414 , let them give [H8799]   H4725 me a place H259 in some H5892 town H7704 in the country H3427 , that I may dwell [H8799]   H5650 there: for why should thy servant H3427 dwell [H8799]   H4467 in the royal H5892 city with thee?
  6 H397 Then Achish H5414 gave [H8799]   H6860 him Ziklag H3117 that day H6860 : wherefore Ziklag H4428 pertaineth unto the kings H3063 of Judah H3117 unto this day.
  7 H4557 And the time H3117   H1732 that David H3427 dwelt [H8804]   H7704 in the country H6430 of the Philistines H3117 was a full year H702 and four H2320 months.
  8 H1732 And David H582 and his men H5927 went up [H8799]   H6584 , and invaded [H8799]   H1651 the Geshurites H1511 , and the Gezrites H6003 , and the Amalekites H2007 : for those H5769 nations were of old H3427 the inhabitants [H8802]   H776 of the land H935 , as thou goest [H8800]   H7793 to Shur H776 , even unto the land H4714 of Egypt.
  9 H1732 And David H5221 smote [H8689]   H776 the land H376 , and left neither man H802 nor woman H2421 alive [H8762]   H3947 , and took away [H8804]   H6629 the sheep H1241 , and the oxen H2543 , and the asses H1581 , and the camels H899 , and the apparel H7725 , and returned [H8799]   H935 , and came [H8799]   H397 to Achish.
  10 H397 And Achish H559 said [H8799]   H408 , Whither H6584 have ye made a road [H8804]   H3117 to day H1732 ? And David H559 said [H8799]   H5045 , Against the south H3063 of Judah H5045 , and against the south H3397 of the Jerahmeelites H5045 , and against the south H7017 of the Kenites.
  11 H1732 And David H2421 saved [H8762]   H376 neither man H802 nor woman H2421 alive [H8762]   H935 , to bring [H8687]   H1661 tidings to Gath H559 , saying [H8800]   H5046 , Lest they should tell [H8686]   H559 on us, saying [H8800]   H6213 , So did [H8804]   H1732 David H4941 , and so will be his manner H3117 all the while H3427 he dwelleth [H8804]   H7704 in the country H6430 of the Philistines.
  12 H397 And Achish H539 believed [H8686]   H1732 David H559 , saying [H8800]   H5971 , He hath made his people H3478 Israel H887 utterly [H8687]   H887 to abhor [H8689]   H5650 him; therefore he shall be my servant H5769 for ever.
ERV(i) 1 And 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 shall despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand. 2 And David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, unto Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath. 3 And David dwelt 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 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him. 5 And David said unto Achish, If now I have found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee? 6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. 7 And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months. 8 And David and his men went up, and made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites: for those [nations] were the inhabitants of the land, which were of old, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt. 9 And David smote the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel; and he returned, and came to Achish. 10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a raid today? And David said, Against the South of Judah, and against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites. 11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying: So did David, and so hath been his manner all the while he hath dwelt in the country of the Philistines. 12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
