1 Samuel 27:2-7
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.
5Then DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 AchishH397, “IfH518H4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your eyesH5869, let me be assignedH5414 a placeH4725 in oneH259 of the outlyingH7704 townsH5892, so I can liveH3427 thereH8033. For whyH4100 should your servantH5650 liveH3427 in the royalH4467 cityH5892 with youH5973?”
6ThatH1931 dayH3117 AchishH397 gaveH5414 him ZiklagH6860, andH3651 toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117 it still belongs toH1961 the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063. 7And the timeH3117 thatH834 DavidH1732 livedH3427 in PhilistineH6430 territoryH7704 amounted toH1961H4557 a yearH3117 and fourH702 monthsH2320.
