1 Samuel 27:1-3

Tree of Life Version

David Settles in Ziklag

27 Then David said in his heart, “One day I’ll be swept away by the hand of Saul. There’s nothing better for me than to escape immediately to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me in all the territories of Israel, so I’ll escape from his hand.” ² So David rose and crossed over, he and the 600 men that were with him, to Achish son of Maoch, king of Gath. ³ David stayed with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, and David with his two wives—Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, Nabal’s widow.
