1 Samuel 27:11

And David ^{H1732} saved ^{H2421} neither man ^{H376} nor woman ^{H802} alive ^{H2421}, to bring ^{H935} tidings to Gath ^{H1661}, saying ^{H559}, Lest they should tell ^{H5046} on us, saying ^{H559}, So did ^{H6213} David ^{H1732}, and so will be his manner ^{H4941} all the while ^{H3117} he dwelleth ^{H3427} in the country ^{H7704} of the Philistines ^{H6430}.

The reason David spared neither men nor women to be brought to Gat is that he thought, "We don't want them telling on us, saying, 'David did so-and-so.'" That's how he conducted his raids for as long as he lived in the country of the P'lishtim.

David did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he said, “Otherwise they will report us, saying, ‘This is what David did.’” And this was David’s custom the whole time he lived in Philistine territory.

And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David, and so hath been his manner all the while he hath dwelt in the country of the Philistines.
