1 Samuel 27:6-12

6Then AchishH397 gaveH5414 him ZiklagH6860 that dayH3117: wherefore ZiklagH6860 pertaineth unto the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117. 7And the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 that DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430 wasH1961 a full year and fourH702 monthsH2320.

8And DavidH1732 and his menH376 wentH935 up, and madeH6584 a raidH6584 upon the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those nations were the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, who were of old, as thou goest to ShurH7793, even unto the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 9And DavidH1732 smote the landH776, and saved neither manH376 nor womanH802 aliveH2421, and tookH3947 awayH7725 the sheepH6629, and the oxenH1241, and the asses, and the camelsH1581, and the apparel; and he returnedH7725, and cameH935 to AchishH397. 10And AchishH397 saidH559, Against whom have ye madeH6584 a raidH6584 to-day? And DavidH1732 saidH559, Against the SouthH5045 of JudahH3063, and against the SouthH5045 of the Jerahmeelites, and against the SouthH5045 of the Kenites. 11And DavidH1732 saved neither manH376 nor womanH802 aliveH2421, to bringH935 them to GathH1661, sayingH559, LestH6435 they should tellH5046 of us, sayingH559, So did DavidH1732, and so hath been his manner all the while he hath dweltH3427 in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430. 12And AchishH397 believedH539 DavidH1732, sayingH559, He hath made his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall beH1961 my servantH5650 for everH5769.
