Đa-vít Tị Nạn Nơi Đất Người Phi-li-tin
27 Đa-vít nghĩ thầm: “Một ngày nào đây, chắc chắn tôi sẽ phải chết bởi tay vua Sau-lơ. Không gì tốt hơn cho tôi là trốn sang đất người Phi-li-tin. Bấy giờ vua Sau-lơ sẽ mất hết hy vọng tìm bắt được tôi trong toàn lãnh thổ Y-sơ-ra-ên, và tôi sẽ thoát khỏi tay vua.”
2 Đa-vít liền cùng với 600 người theo mình vượt qua biên giới, đến với vua A-kích, con ông Ma-óc, tại thành Gát. 3 Đa-vít và những người theo chàng, mỗi người với gia đình mình, đều ở lại thành Gát với vua A-kích. Đa-vít cũng dẫn theo hai bà vợ, bà A-hi-nô-am, người Gít-rê-ên, và bà A-bi-ga-in, vợ góa của Na-banh, người Cạt-mên. 4 Khi vua Sau-lơ hay tin Đa-vít đã trốn sang thành Gát, vua không còn tìm bắt chàng nữa.
5 Đa-vít tâu với vua A-kích: “Nếu vua đẹp lòng, xin vua cho phép tôi cư ngụ trong một thành nào đó ở miền quê. Vì tôi tớ vua sao lại được ở trong hoàng thành với vua?” 6 Ngay hôm đó, vua A-kích cho Đa-vít thành Xiếc-lác; vì thế thành Xiếc-lác thuộc về các vua Giu-đa cho đến ngày nay.
7 Thời gian Đa-vít cư ngụ trong xứ người Phi-li-tin là một năm bốn tháng. 8 Đa-vít và những người theo chàng thường cướp phá các dân Ghê-sua, Ghiệt-xi và A-ma-léc là những dân tộc sống trong vùng từ Tê-la-im[a] trải dài đến sa mạc Su-rơ và tận biên giới Ai-cập. 9 Mỗi khi đánh phá vùng nào, Đa-vít không để cho ai sống sót, dù đàn ông hay đàn bà. Đa-vít lấy hết chiên dê, bò lừa, lạc đà và quần áo, rồi trở về và đến gặp vua A-kích.
10 Mỗi khi vua A-kích hỏi: “Hôm nay các ngươi cướp phá vùng nào?” Đa-vít thường đáp: “Vùng Nê-ghép xứ Giu-đa,” hoặc “vùng Nê-ghép của dân Giê-ra-mên,” hoặc “vùng Nê-ghép của dân Kê-nít”[b] 11 Đa-vít không chừa một người đàn ông hay đàn bà nào sống sót để đem về thành Gát, vì sợ họ tố cáo những việc Đa-vít và những người theo chàng đã làm. Đa-vít cứ hành động như vậy suốt thời gian ở trong xứ người Phi-li-tin. 12 Vua A-kích tin Đa-vít. Vua thầm nghĩ: “Nó đã tự làm cho dân Y-sơ-ra-ên của nó ghê tởm nó đến nỗi nó phải làm chư hầu cho ta suốt đời.”

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)”

David Allied with the Philistines
27 And David said in his heart, “Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will [a]despair of me, to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. So I shall escape out of his hand.” 2 Then David arose (A)and went over with the six hundred men who were with him (B)to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath. 3 So David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each man with his household, and David (C)with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s widow. 4 And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; so he sought him no more.
5 Then David said to Achish, “If I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?” 6 So Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore (D)Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. 7 Now [b]the time that David (E)dwelt in the country of the Philistines was one full year and four months.
8 And David and his men went up and raided (F)the Geshurites, (G)the [c]Girzites, and the (H)Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from [d]of old, (I)as you go to Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt. 9 Whenever David [e]attacked the land, he left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the apparel, and returned and came to Achish. 10 Then Achish would say, “Where have you made a raid today?” And David would say, “Against the southern area of Judah, or against the southern area of (J)the Jerahmeelites, or against the southern area of (K)the Kenites.” 11 David would save neither man nor woman alive, to bring news to Gath, saying, “Lest they should inform on us, saying, ‘Thus David did.’ ” And thus was his behavior all the time he dwelt in the country of the Philistines. 12 So Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly abhor him; therefore he will be my servant forever.”
