1 Samuel 27:10-12

English Standard Version

¹⁰ When Achish asked, “Where have you ^(A)made a raid today?” David would say, “Against the Negeb of Judah,” or, “Against the Negeb of ^(B)the Jerahmeelites,” or, “Against the Negeb of ^(C)the Kenites.” ¹¹ And David would leave neither man nor woman alive to bring news to Gath, thinking, “lest they should tell about us and say, ‘So David has done.’” Such was his custom all the while he lived in the country of the Philistines. ¹² And Achish trusted David, thinking, “He has made himself an utter stench to his people Israel; therefore he shall always be my servant.”
