1 Samuel 27:2-7
2So David arose and crossed over, he and 1the six hundred men who were with him, to 2Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath. 3And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, 3each with his household, even David with 4his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s 5widow. 4Now it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.
5Then David said to Achish, “If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?” 6So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore 6Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. 7The number of days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was 7a year and four months.
