1 Samuel 27:5-12

5And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto AchishH397, IfH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thine eyesH5869, letH4994 them giveH5414 meH413 a placeH4725 in one of the citiesH5892 in the countryH7704, that I may dwellH3427 there: for whyH4100 should thy servantH5650 dwellH3427 in the royalH4467 cityH5892 with thee? 6Then AchishH397 gaveH5414 him ZiklagH6860 that dayH3117: wherefore ZiklagH6860 pertaineth unto the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117. 7And the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 that DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430 was a fullH3117 yearH3117 and fourH702 monthsH2320. 8And DavidH1732 and his menH376 wentH935 upH5927, and madeH6584 a raidH6584 uponH935 the GeshuritesH1651, and the Girzites, and the AmalekitesH6003: for thoseH834 nationsH776 were the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, whichH834 were of oldH5769, as thou goest to ShurH7793, evenH5704 unto the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 9And DavidH1732 smoteH5221 the landH776, and saved neitherH3808 manH376 norH3808 womanH802 aliveH2421, and tookH3947 awayH7725 the sheepH6629, and the oxenH1241, and the asses, and the camelsH1581, and the apparel; and he returnedH7725, and cameH935 to AchishH397. 10And AchishH397 saidH559, Whither have ye madeH6584 a raidH6584 todayH3117? And DavidH1732 saidH559, AgainstH5921 the SouthH5045 of JudahH3063, and againstH5921 the SouthH5045 of the JerahmeelitesH3397, and againstH5921 the SouthH5045 of the KenitesH7017. 11And DavidH1732 saved neitherH3808 manH376 norH3808 womanH802 aliveH2421, to bringH935 them to GathH1661, sayingH559, LestH6435 they should tellH5046 on usH5046, sayingH559: SoH6213 didH6213 DavidH1732, and soH6213 hath been his mannerH4941 allH3605 the whileH3117 he hath dweltH3427 in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430. 12And AchishH397 believedH539 DavidH1732, sayingH559, He hath madeH887 his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servantH5650 for everH5769.
