David entre los filisteos
27 Dijo luego David en su corazón: Al fin seré muerto algún día por la mano de Saúl; nada, por tanto, me será mejor que fugarme a la tierra de los filisteos, para que Saúl no se ocupe de mí, y no me ande buscando más por todo el territorio de Israel; y así escaparé de su mano. 2 Se levantó, pues, David, y con los seiscientos hombres que tenía consigo se pasó a Aquis hijo de Maoc, rey de Gat. 3 Y moró David con Aquis en Gat, él y sus hombres, cada uno con su familia; David con sus dos mujeres, Ahinoam jezreelita y Abigail la que fue mujer de Nabal el de Carmel. 4 Y vino a Saúl la nueva de que David había huido a Gat, y no lo buscó más.
5 Y David dijo a Aquis: Si he hallado gracia ante tus ojos, séame dado lugar en alguna de las aldeas para que habite allí; pues ¿por qué ha de morar tu siervo contigo en la ciudad real? 6 Y Aquis le dio aquel día a Siclag, por lo cual Siclag vino a ser de los reyes de Judá hasta hoy. 7 Fue el número de los días que David habitó en la tierra de los filisteos, un año y cuatro meses.
8 Y subía David con sus hombres, y hacían incursiones contra los gesuritas, los gezritas y los amalecitas; porque estos habitaban de largo tiempo la tierra, desde como quien va a Shur hasta la tierra de Egipto. 9 Y asolaba David el país, y no dejaba con vida hombre ni mujer; y se llevaba las ovejas, las vacas, los asnos, los camellos y las ropas, y regresaba a Aquis. 10 Y decía Aquis: ¿Dónde habéis merodeado hoy? Y David decía: En el Neguev de Judá, y el Neguev de Jerameel, o en el Neguev de los ceneos. 11 Ni hombre ni mujer dejaba David con vida para que viniesen a Gat; diciendo: No sea que den aviso de nosotros y digan: Esto hizo David. Y esta fue su costumbre todo el tiempo que moró en la tierra de los filisteos. 12 Y Aquis creía a David, y decía: Él se ha hecho abominable a su pueblo de Israel, y será siempre mi siervo.

David Escapes to the Philistines
27 Then David said in his heart, “Now I will be swept away one day by the hand of Saul. (A)There is nothing better for me than that I should utterly escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand.” 2 So David arose and crossed over, he and (B)the six hundred men who were with him, to (C)Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath. 3 And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, (D)each with his household, even David with (E)his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife. 4 And it was told to Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.
5 Then David said to Achish, “If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?” 6 So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore (F)Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. 7 And the number of days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was (G)a year and four months.
8 Now David and his men went up and raided (H)the Geshurites and the Girzites and (I)the Amalekites; for they were the inhabitants of the land from ancient times, as you come to (J)Shur even as far as the land of Egypt. 9 And David struck the land and did not leave a man or a woman alive, and he (K)took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned and came to Achish. 10 And Achish said, “Where have you (L)made a raid today?” And David said, “Against the [a]Negev of Judah and against the [b]Negev of (M)the Jerahmeelites and against the [c]Negev of (N)the Kenites.” 11 And David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, “Lest they tell about us, saying, ‘So has David done and so has been his custom all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’” 12 So Achish believed David, saying, “He has surely made himself odious among his people Israel; therefore he will become my servant forever.”

David serves the Philistine Achish
27 David thought, One day I will be destroyed by Saul’s power. The best thing for me to do is to escape to Philistine territory. Then Saul will give up looking for me in Israelite territory, and I will escape his power. 2 So David set out with his six hundred soldiers and went to Achish, Maoch’s son and Gath’s king. 3 David and his soldiers stayed there at Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, Nabal’s widow from Carmel. 4 When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he didn’t pursue him anymore.
5 Then David said to Achish, “If you approve of me, please give me a place in one of the towns in the country so I can live there. Why should I, your servant, live in the capital city with you?” 6 So Achish gave the town of Ziklag to David at that time. That’s why Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah until now. 7 David lived in the Philistine countryside for a total of one year and four months.
8 David and his soldiers went out on raids against the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. They were the people who lived in the land from Telam[a] to Shur all the way to the land of Egypt. 9 When David attacked an area, he wouldn’t leave anyone alive, man or woman. He would take the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothes and would then go back to Achish. 10 When Achish asked, “Where did you raid today?”[b] David would say, “The southern plain of Judah,” or “The southern plain of the Jerahmeelites,” or “The southern plain of the Kenites.” 11 David never spared a man or woman so they could be brought back alive to Gath. “Otherwise,” he said, “they might talk about us, and say, ‘David did this or that.’” So this was David’s practice during the entire time he lived in the Philistine countryside.
12 Achish trusted David, thinking, David has alienated himself so badly from his own people in Israel that he’ll serve me forever.

David Among the Philistines
27 But David thought to himself, “One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.”
2 So David and the six hundred men(A) with him left and went(B) over to Achish(C) son of Maok king of Gath. 3 David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives:(D) Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal. 4 When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
5 Then David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be assigned to me in one of the country towns, that I may live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
6 So on that day Achish gave him Ziklag,(E) and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since. 7 David lived(F) in Philistine territory a year and four months.
8 Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites,(G) the Girzites and the Amalekites.(H) (From ancient times these peoples had lived in the land extending to Shur(I) and Egypt.) 9 Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive,(J) but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish.
10 When Achish asked, “Where did you go raiding today?” David would say, “Against the Negev of Judah” or “Against the Negev of Jerahmeel(K)” or “Against the Negev of the Kenites.(L)” 11 He did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he thought, “They might inform on us and say, ‘This is what David did.’” And such was his practice as long as he lived in Philistine territory. 12 Achish trusted David and said to himself, “He has become so obnoxious(M) to his people, the Israelites, that he will be my servant for life.(N)”
