1 Samuel 27:9-11
International Standard Version
9 David struck the land and did not leave a man or woman alive. He took sheep, cattle, donkeys, camels, and clothing, and then came back and went to Achish.
10 Achish said, “Where did you raid today?”
David answered, “Against the Negev[a] of Judah, against the Negev[b] of the Jerahmeelites, and against the Negev[c] of the Kenites.” 11 David did not leave a man or woman alive to bring to Gath. He told himself,[d] “Otherwise, they’ll say, ‘This is what David is doing, and this has been his practice all the time he has lived in Philistine territory.’”
