1 Samuel

Chapter 27

1 AND David said in his heart, Now if I should fall some day into the hands of Saul, it would not be good for me, but it is better for me that I should escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of seeking me any more in the territory of Israel; so I shall escape out of his hands.

2 So David arose and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish, the son of Maachah, king of Gath.

3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men and the household of David and his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.

4 And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; and he sought no more after him.

5 And David said to Achish, If I have now found grace in your eyes, let the people give me a place in one of the towns in the desert, that I may dwell there; so that your servant may not dwell in the royal city with you.

6 Then Achish gave him Zinklag that day; therefore Zinklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.

7 And the time that David dwelt in the land of the Philistines was a full year and four months.

8 And David and his men went up and made raids upon the Geshurites and the Gadolites and the Amalekites; for these nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, and they raided Geshur as far as the land of Egypt.

9 And David smote the land and left neither man nor woman alive, and he took away the sheep and the oxen and the asses and the camels and the apparel; then David returned and came to Achish.

10 And Achish said to David, Where have you made a raid today? And David said, Against the south of Judah and against the south of Jerahmel and against the south of Kailah.

11 And David spared neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, Thus David has done, and such was his custom all the while he dwelt in the land of the Philistines.

12 And Achish believed David, saying, He has surely displeased his people Israel; therefore he has become my servant for ever.

1 Samuel

Chapter 27

1 And David1732 said559 in his heart,3820 I shall now6258 perish5595 one259 day3117 by the hand3027 of Saul:7586 there is nothing369 better2896 for me than3588 that I should speedily4422 escape4422 into413 the land776 of the Philistines;6430 and Saul7586 shall despair2976 of me, to seek1245 me any more5750 in any3605 coast1366 of Israel:3478 so shall I escape4422 out of his hand.3027

2 And David1732 arose,6965 and he passed5674 over5674 with the six8337 hundred3967 men376 that were with him to Achish,397 the son1121 of Maoch,4582 king4428 of Gath.1661

3 And David1732 dwelled3427 with Achish397 at Gath,1661 he and his men,582 every man376 with his household,1004 even David1732 with his two8147 wives,802 Ahinoam293 the Jezreelitess,3159 and Abigail26 the Carmelitess,3762 Nabal's5037 wife.802

4 And it was told5046 Saul7586 that David1732 was fled1272 to Gath:1661 and he sought1245 no3808 more3254 again3254 for him.

5 And David1732 said559 to Achish,397 If518 I have now4994 found4672 grace2580 in your eyes,5869 let them give5414 me a place4725 in some259 town5892 in the country,7704 that I may dwell3427 there:8033 for why4100 should your servant5650 dwell3427 in the royal4467 city5892 with you?

6 Then Achish397 gave5414 him Ziklag6860 that day:3117 why3651 Ziklag6860 pertains1961 to the kings4428 of Judah3063 to this2088 day.3117

7 And the time4557 3117 that David1732 dwelled3427 in the country7704 of the Philistines6430 was a full3117 year and four702 months.2320

8 And David1732 and his men582 went5927 up, and invaded6584 the Geshurites,1651 and the Gezrites,1511 and the Amalekites:6003 for those2007 nations were of old5769 the inhabitants3427 of the land,776 as you go935 to Shur,7793 even to the land776 of Egypt.4714

9 And David1732 smote5221 the land,776 and left neither3808 man376 nor woman802 alive,2421 and took3947 away the sheep,6629 and the oxen,1241 and the asses,2543 and the camels,1581 and the apparel,899 and returned,7725 and came935 to Achish.397

10 And Achish397 said,559 Where413 have you made a road6584 to day?3117 And David1732 said,559 Against5921 the south5045 of Judah,3063 and against5921 the south5045 of the Jerahmeelites,3397 and against413 the south5045 of the Kenites.7017

11 And David1732 saved2421 neither3808 man376 nor woman802 alive,2421 to bring935 tidings to Gath,1661 saying,559 Lest6435 they should tell5046 on5921 us, saying,559 So3541 did6213 David,1732 and so3541 will be his manner3541 all3605 the while3117 he dwells3427 in the country7704 of the Philistines.6430

12 And Achish397 believed539 David,1732 saying,559 He has made his people5971 Israel3478 utterly to abhor887 him; therefore he shall be my servant5650 for ever.5769

Chapter 27

1 AND David said in his heart, Now if I should fall some day into the hands of Saul, it would not be good for me, but it is better for me that I should escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of seeking me any more in the territory of Israel; so I shall escape out of his hands.

1 And David1732 said559 in his heart,3820 I shall now6258 perish5595 one259 day3117 by the hand3027 of Saul:7586 there is nothing369 better2896 for me than3588 that I should speedily4422 escape4422 into413 the land776 of the Philistines;6430 and Saul7586 shall despair2976 of me, to seek1245 me any more5750 in any3605 coast1366 of Israel:3478 so shall I escape4422 out of his hand.3027

2 So David arose and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish, the son of Maachah, king of Gath.

2 And David1732 arose,6965 and he passed5674 over5674 with the six8337 hundred3967 men376 that were with him to Achish,397 the son1121 of Maoch,4582 king4428 of Gath.1661

3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men and the household of David and his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.

3 And David1732 dwelled3427 with Achish397 at Gath,1661 he and his men,582 every man376 with his household,1004 even David1732 with his two8147 wives,802 Ahinoam293 the Jezreelitess,3159 and Abigail26 the Carmelitess,3762 Nabal's5037 wife.802

4 And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; and he sought no more after him.

4 And it was told5046 Saul7586 that David1732 was fled1272 to Gath:1661 and he sought1245 no3808 more3254 again3254 for him.

5 And David said to Achish, If I have now found grace in your eyes, let the people give me a place in one of the towns in the desert, that I may dwell there; so that your servant may not dwell in the royal city with you.

5 And David1732 said559 to Achish,397 If518 I have now4994 found4672 grace2580 in your eyes,5869 let them give5414 me a place4725 in some259 town5892 in the country,7704 that I may dwell3427 there:8033 for why4100 should your servant5650 dwell3427 in the royal4467 city5892 with you?

6 Then Achish gave him Zinklag that day; therefore Zinklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.

6 Then Achish397 gave5414 him Ziklag6860 that day:3117 why3651 Ziklag6860 pertains1961 to the kings4428 of Judah3063 to this2088 day.3117

7 And the time that David dwelt in the land of the Philistines was a full year and four months.

7 And the time4557 3117 that David1732 dwelled3427 in the country7704 of the Philistines6430 was a full3117 year and four702 months.2320

8 And David and his men went up and made raids upon the Geshurites and the Gadolites and the Amalekites; for these nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, and they raided Geshur as far as the land of Egypt.

8 And David1732 and his men582 went5927 up, and invaded6584 the Geshurites,1651 and the Gezrites,1511 and the Amalekites:6003 for those2007 nations were of old5769 the inhabitants3427 of the land,776 as you go935 to Shur,7793 even to the land776 of Egypt.4714

9 And David smote the land and left neither man nor woman alive, and he took away the sheep and the oxen and the asses and the camels and the apparel; then David returned and came to Achish.

9 And David1732 smote5221 the land,776 and left neither3808 man376 nor woman802 alive,2421 and took3947 away the sheep,6629 and the oxen,1241 and the asses,2543 and the camels,1581 and the apparel,899 and returned,7725 and came935 to Achish.397

10 And Achish said to David, Where have you made a raid today? And David said, Against the south of Judah and against the south of Jerahmel and against the south of Kailah.

10 And Achish397 said,559 Where413 have you made a road6584 to day?3117 And David1732 said,559 Against5921 the south5045 of Judah,3063 and against5921 the south5045 of the Jerahmeelites,3397 and against413 the south5045 of the Kenites.7017

11 And David spared neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, Thus David has done, and such was his custom all the while he dwelt in the land of the Philistines.

11 And David1732 saved2421 neither3808 man376 nor woman802 alive,2421 to bring935 tidings to Gath,1661 saying,559 Lest6435 they should tell5046 on5921 us, saying,559 So3541 did6213 David,1732 and so3541 will be his manner3541 all3605 the while3117 he dwells3427 in the country7704 of the Philistines.6430

12 And Achish believed David, saying, He has surely displeased his people Israel; therefore he has become my servant for ever.

12 And Achish397 believed539 David,1732 saying,559 He has made his people5971 Israel3478 utterly to abhor887 him; therefore he shall be my servant5650 for ever.5769
