1 Samuel 27:1-4
1Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to 1himselfH3820, “NowH6258 I will 2perishH5595 oneH259 dayH3117 by the handH3027 of SaulH7586. 3ThereH369 isH369 nothingH369 betterH2896 for me thanH3588 to safelyH4422 escapeH4422 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430. Then SaulH7586 will despairH2976 of searchingH1245 for me anymoreH5750 in allH3605 the territoryH1366 of IsraelH3478, and I will escapeH4422 from his handH3027.” 2So DavidH1732 setH6965 outH6965 and wentH5674 overH5674, he and 4the sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 whoH834 were with him, to 5AchishH397 the sonH1121 of MaochH4582, kingH4428 of GathH1661. 3And DavidH1732 livedH3427 with AchishH397 in GathH1661, he and his menH376, 6eachH376 with his own householdH1004--DavidH1732 with 7his twoH8147 wivesH802, AhinoamH293 the JezreelitessH3159, and AbigailH26 the CarmelitessH3761, Nabal’sH5037 8widowH802. 4Now it was reportedH5046 to SaulH7586 that DavidH1732 had fledH1272 to GathH1661, so he noH3808 longerH3254H5750 searchedH1245 for him.
