RF SA1 27:1 (B.C. 1054.) David again goes to Philistia, and becomes a Favorite with King Akish.
David, however, said in his heart, "I shall fall some day into the hand of Saul. Would it not be well for me to take refuge in the country of the Philishtim? when Saul will give up hunting after me again in any of the districts of Israel, and I shall protect myself from his hand."
RF SA1 27:2 David consequently passed over, he and the six hundred men with him, to Akish-ben-Mauk, king of Gath,
RF SA1 27:3 where David and his men settled in Gath with Akish, each with his family, and David with his two wives, Akhinoam the Jezraalitess, and Abigail, the widow of Nabal, the Karmelitess.
RF SA1 27:4 And it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath, so Saul did not again hunt for him.
RF SA1 27:5 David afterwards said to Akish, "If, now, I have found favour in your sight, give me a residence in one of your country villages, and I will stay there,—for why should your servant live in the Royal City with you?"
RF SA1 27:6 (B.C. 1053.) David made Governor of Ziklag by Akish.
Akish consequently assigned to him at once Ziklag; (therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day;)
RF SA1 27:7 and the length of time that David stayed in the country of the Philishtim was a year and four months.
RF SA1 27:8 But David and his men went and plundered the Ghishurites, and the Gherzites, and the Amalekites, who were in the country which lies towards the Wall of the land of Mitzer.
RF SA1 27:9 So David conquered the country, leaving neither men nor women alive, but taking the sheep, and cattle, and asses and camels, and clothing. Then returned and came to Akish.
RF SA1 27:10 And Akish asked, "Where have you been plundering this time?" David answered, "Towards the south of Judah, and towards the south of the Irakhmalites, and to the south of the Kenites."
RF SA1 27:11 For David did not let a man or a woman go with him to Gath, remarking "for fear they should tell of us, and say, David has done this!" He, however, plundered in this way all the time he stayed in the country of the Philishtim.
RF SA1 27:12 And Akish believed David, reflecting, "He will make himself stink with his nation the Israelites, and then he will be my subject for ever."
