“And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.”
“And David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, unto Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath. ”
“David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.”
“So David left and crossed over to King Achish son of Maoch of Gath accompanied by his six hundred men.”
“And David arose, and went away, both he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achis, the son of Maoch, king of Geth.”
“So David and the six hundred men who were with him went over to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.”
“And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.”
And David said in his heart: “At some time, I will one day fall into the hands of Saul. Is it not better if I flee, and be saved in the land of the Philistines, so that Saul may despair and cease to seek me in all the parts of Israel? Therefore, I will flee away from his hands.”
And David rose up and went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish, the son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men: each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
And it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath. And so, he did not continue to seek him.
And David said to Achish: “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given to me in one of the cities of this region, so that I may live there. For why should your servant stay in the city of the king with you?”
