A Novel of King David
David in 1 Samuel 27
(1 Samuel 27:1) And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the
hand of Saul. Nothing is better for me than that I should speedily escape into
the land of the Philistines. And Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more
in any border of Israel, and so I shall escape out of his hand.
(1 Samuel 27:2) And David arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men with
him to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
(1 Samuel 27:3) And David lived with Achish of Gath, he and his men, each one
with his household; David with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of
Carmel, Nabal's former wife.

again looked for him.
(1 Samuel 27:5) And David said to Achish, If I have now found grace in your
eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country so that I may live
there. For why should your servant live in the royal city with you?
(1 Samuel 27:6) And Achish gave him Ziklag that day. And Ziklag belongs to the
kings of Judah to this day.
(1 Samuel 27:7) And the number of days that David lived in the field of the
Philistines was a year of days and four months.
(1 Samuel 27:8) And David and his men went up and invaded the Geshurites, and
the Gezrites, and the Amalekites. For they were the inhabitants of the land from
the past days, as you come into Shur, even into the land of Egypt.
(1 Samuel 27:9) And David struck the land, and did not keep alive man nor woman,
and took away the sheep and the oxen and the asses and the camels and the
clothing, and returned and came to Achish.
(1 Samuel 27:10) And Achish said, Where have you made a raid today? And David
said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites,
and against the south of the Kenites.
(1 Samuel 27:11) And David did not keep alive man or woman to bring news to
Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So David did, and so has been
his custom all the days he lived in the fields of the Philistines.
(1 Samuel 27:12) And Achish believed David, saying, He has made himself to be
hated among his people Israel, and has become my servant forever.
