“So Achish trusted David, thinking to himself,“He is really hated among his own people in Israel! From now on he will be my servant.””
“And Achis believed David, saying: He hath done much harm to his people Israel: Therefore he shall be my servant for ever. ”

David attacked the land and did not leave a man or a woman alive, and he took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned and came to Achish.
Now Achish said, "Where have you made a raid today?" And David said, "Against the Negev of Judah and against the Negev of the Jerahmeelites and against the Negev of the Kenites."
David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, "Otherwise they will tell about us, saying, 'So has David done and so has been his practice all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.'"
So Achish believed David, saying, "He has surely made himself odious among his people Israel; therefore he will become my servant forever."
