1 Samuel 27:2-7

2So David took his 600 men and went over and joined Achish son of Maoch, the king of Gath.

3David and his men and their families settled there with Achish at Gath. David brought his two wives along with him—Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, Nabal’s widow from Carmel.

4Word soon reached Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he stopped hunting for him.

5One day David said to Achish, “If it is all right with you, we would rather live in one of the country towns instead of here in the royal city.”

6So Achish gave him the town of Ziklag (which still belongs to the kings of Judah to this day),

7and they lived there among the Philistines for a year and four months.
