1 Samuel 27:2-7
2So David went with his 600 men to King Achish of Gath, Moach’s son.
3David and his men stayed with Achish in Gath. Each one had his family, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail (who had been Nabal’s wife) from Carmel.
4When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he didn’t search for him anymore.
5David said to Achish, “If you will permit me, let me have a place in one of the outlying towns so that I can live there. Why should I live in the royal city with you?”
6So Achish immediately gave him Ziklag. (This is why Ziklag still belongs to the kings of Judah today.)
7David stayed in Philistine territory for one year and four months.
