English Standard Version
1 Samuel 27:2-7
2So David arose and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, Nabal's widow.
4And when it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, he no longer sought him.
5Then David said to Achish, "If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given me in one of the country towns, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?"
6So that day Achish gave him Ziklag. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.
7And the number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.
