1 Samuel 27:2-7

2So David and his 600 men went across the border of Israel to Gath town. Maoch's son Achish was the king there.

3David and his men lived in Gath with King Achish. They had their families with them. David's two wives were with him: Ahinoam from Jezreel, and Abigail from Carmel. Abigail was Nabal's widow.

4Saul heard the news that David had run away to Gath. So he stopped looking for David.

5One day David said to Achish, ‘I hope that you are pleased with me. If you are, please choose a place for me to live in one of the small towns. I do not need to live in the same big city as the king.’

6So on that day King Achish gave Ziklag town to David. Since then, Ziklag has always belonged to Judah's king.

7David lived in the country of the Philistines for one year and four months.
