Chapter 27
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
speedily
escape
into
the
land
of
the
Philistines;
and
Saul
shall
despair
of
me,
to
seek
me
any
more
in
any
coast
of
Israel:
so
shall
I
escape
out
of
his
hand.
2
And
David
arose,
and
he
passed
over
with
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
I
have
now
found
grace
in
thine
eyes,
let
them
give
me
a
place
in
some
town
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
time
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
invaded
the
Geshurites,
and
the
Gezrites,
and
the
Amalekites:
for
those
nations
were
of
old
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
as
thou
goest
to
Shur,
even
unto
the
land
of
Egypt.
9
And
David
smote
the
land,
and
left
neither
man
nor
woman
alive,
and
took
away
the
sheep,
and
the
oxen,
and
the
asses,
and
the
camels,
and
the
apparel,
and
returned,
and
came
to
Achish.
10
And
Achish
said,
Whither
have
ye
made
a
road
to
day?
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
tidings
to
Gath,
saying,
Lest
they
should
tell
on
us,
saying,
So
did
David,
and
so
will
be
his
manner
all
the
while
he
dwelleth
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.
