2So DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and crossedH5674 overH5674, he and 1the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 whoH834 were with him, to 2AchishH397 the sonH1121 of MaochH4582, kingH4428 of GathH1661. 3And DavidH1732 livedH3427 with AchishH397 at GathH1661, he and his menH376, 3eachH376 with his householdH1004, even DavidH1732 with 4his twoH8147 wivesH802, AhinoamH293 the JezreelitessH3159, and AbigailH26 the CarmelitessH3761, Nabal’sH5037 5widowH802. 4Now it was toldH5046 SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 had fledH1272 to GathH1661, so he noH3808 longerH3254H5750 searchedH1245 for him.

5Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to AchishH397, “IfH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, let them giveH5414 me a placeH4725 in oneH259 of the citiesH5892 in the countryH7704, that I may liveH3427 thereH8033; for whyH4100 should your servantH5650 liveH3427 in the royalH4467 cityH5892 with you?” 6So AchishH397 gaveH5414 him ZiklagH6860 that dayH3117; thereforeH3651 6ZiklagH6860 hasH1961 belonged to the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 to thisH2088 dayH3117. 7The numberH4557 of daysH3117 that DavidH1732 livedH3427 in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430 was 7a yearH3117 and fourH702 monthsH2320.
