1 Samuel 27:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible
2 So David set out with his six hundred men and went to Achish son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
3 David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
4 And when Saul learned that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
5 Then David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let me be assigned a place in one of the outlying towns, so I can live there. For why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
6 That day Achish gave him Ziklag, and to this day it still belongs to the kings of Judah.
