1 Samuel 27:1-4

1David, howeverH1732, saidH559 toH413 himselfH3820, “OneH259 of these daysH3117 nowH6258 I will be swept awayH5595 by the handH3027 of SaulH7586. There is nothingH369 betterH2896 for me thanH3588 to escapeH4422 toH413 the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430. Then SaulH7586 will stopH2976 searchingH1245 for meH4480H5750 all overH3605H1366 IsraelH3478, and I will slipH4422 out of his handH3027.”

2So DavidH1732 set outH6965 withH5973 his sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 and wentH5674H1931 toH413 AchishH397 sonH1121 of MaochH4582,1 the kingH4428 of GathH1661. 3DavidH1732 and his menH582 settledH3427 in GathH1661 withH5973 AchishH397H1931. Each manH376 had his family with himH1004, and DavidH1732 had his twoH8147 wivesH802: AhinoamH293 of JezreelH3158 and AbigailH26 of CarmelH3761, the widowH802 of NabalH5037. 4And when SaulH7586 learnedH5046 thatH3588 DavidH1732 had fledH1272 to GathH1661, he noH3808 longerH3254H5750 searched for himH1245.
