1 Samuel 27:8-11
8Now DavidH1732 and his menH582 went upH5927 and raidedH6584H413 the GeshuritesH1651, the GirzitesH1511, and the AmalekitesH6003. (FromH3588 ancient timesH5769H935 these peopleH2007 had inhabitedH3427 the landH776 extending to ShurH7793 andH5704 EgyptH4714.) 9Whenever DavidH1732 attackedH5221 a territoryH776, he did notH3808 leaveH2421 a manH376 or woman aliveH802, but he tookH3947 the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241, the donkeysH2543, camelsH1581, and clothingH899.
Then he would returnH7725H935 toH413 AchishH397, 10whoH397H408 would ask himH559, “What have you raided todayH6584H3117?”
And DavidH1732H5921 would replyH559, “The NegevH5045 of JudahH3063,” orH5921 “The NegevH5045 of JerahmeelH3397,” orH413 “The NegevH5045 of the KenitesH7017.”
11DavidH1732 did not leaveH3808 a manH376 or womanH802 aliveH2421 to be broughtH935 to GathH1661, for he saidH559, “OtherwiseH6435 they will reportH5046 usH5921, sayingH559, ‘This is whatH3541 DavidH1732 didH6213.’” And thisH3541 was David’s customH4941 the wholeH3605 timeH3117 he livedH3427 in PhilistineH6430 territoryH7704.
