David Flees to Gath

¹⁰ David rose and fled that day from Saul; he went to King Achish of Gath.

⁷ When the men of the place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say “my wife,” thinking, “or else the men of the place might kill me for the sake of Rebekah, because she is attractive in appearance.”^(A)

¹¹ When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know well that you are a woman beautiful in appearance, ¹² and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife’; then they will kill me, but they will let you live.^{(A) 13} Say you are my sister, so that it may go well with me because of you and that my life may be spared on your account.”^(B)
