David Seeks Refuge in Philistia
1 Samuel 27:1-4
1
And David saith unto his heart, `Now am I consumed one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing for me better than that I diligently escape unto the land of the Philistines, and Saul hath been despairing of me--of seeking me any more in all the border of Israel, and I have escaped out of his hand.'
2
And David riseth, and passeth over, he and six hundred men who are with him, unto Achish son of Maoch king of Gath;
3
and David dwelleth with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each one with his household, even David and his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelitess.
4
And it is declared to Saul that David hath fled to Gath, and he hath not added any more to seek him.
