1 Samuel 27:1-2

1David thought to himself, “One of these days I’m going to be swept away by the hand of Saul! There is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of searching for me through all the territory of Israel and I will escape from his hand.”

2So David left and crossed over to King Achish son of Maoch of Gath accompanied by his six hundred men.
