V.1 And David 1732 said 559-4 in his heart, 3820 I shall now perish 5595-11 one 259 day 3117 by the hand 3027 of Saul: 7586 [there is] nothing better 2896 for me than that 3588 I should speedily 4422-9 escape 4422-11 into the land 776 of the Philistines; 6430 and Saul 7586 shall despair 2976-8 of me, to seek 1245-15 me any more in any coast 1366 of Israel: 3478 so shall I escape 4422-8 out of his hand. 3027

27:2 And David 1732 arose, 6965-4 and he passed over 5674-4 with the six 8337 hundred 3967 men 376 that [were] with him unto Achish, 397 the son 1121 of Maoch, 4582 king 4428 of Gath. 1661

27:3 And David 1732 dwelt 3427-4 with Achish 397 at Gath, 1661 he and his men, 582 every man 376 with his household, 1004 [even] David 1732 with his two 8147 wives, 802 Ahinoam 293 the Jezreelitess, 3159 and Abigail 26 the Carmelitess, 3761 Nabal's 5037 wife. 802

27:4 And it was told 5046-93 Saul 7586 that David 1732 was fled 1272-1 to Gath: 1661 and he sought 1245-15 no more again 3254-1|3254-55-k for him.

27:5 And David 1732 said 559-4 unto Achish, 397 If I have now found 4672-1 grace 2580 in thine eyes, 5869 let them give 5414-4 me a place 4725 in some 259 town 5892 in the country, 7704 that I may dwell 3427-4 there: for why should thy servant 5650 dwell 3427-4 in the royal 4467 city 5892 with thee?

27:6 Then Achish 397 gave 5414-4 him Ziklag 6860 that day: 3117 wherefore Ziklag 6860 pertaineth unto the kings 4428 of Judah 3063 unto this day. 3117

27:7 And the time 4557 3117 that David 1732 dwelt 3427-1 in the country 7704 of the Philistines 6430 was a full year 3117 and four 702 months. 2320

27:8 And David 1732 and his men 582 went up, 5927-4 and invaded 6584-4 the Geshurites, 1651 and the Gezrites, 1511 and the Amalekites: 6003 for those 2007 [nations were] of old 5769 the inhabitants 3427-6 of the land, 776 as thou goest 935-2 to Shur, 7793 even unto the land 776 of Egypt. 4714

27:9 And David 1732 smote 5221-52 the land, 776 and left neither man 376 nor woman 802 alive, 2421-17 and took away 3947-1 the sheep, 6629 and the oxen, 1241 and the asses, 2543 and the camels, 1581 and the apparel, 899 and returned, 7725- 4 and came 935-4 to Achish. 397

27:10 And Achish 397 said, 559-4 Whither 408 have ye made a road 6584-1 to day? 3117 And David 1732 said, 559-4 Against the south 5045 of Judah, 3063 and against the south 5045 of the Jerahmeelites, 3397 and against the south 5045 of the Kenites. 7017

27:11 And David 1732 saved neither man 376 nor woman 802 alive, 2421-17 to bring 935-53 [tidings] to Gath, 1661 saying, 559-2 Lest they should tell 5046-55 on us, saying, 559-2 So did 6213-1 David, 1732 and so [will be] his manner 4941 all the while 3117 he dwelleth 3427-1 in the country 7704 of the Philistines. 6430
