'1 Samuel 27 ' not found for the version: Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version.

Nanirahan si David sa mga Filisteo

27 Sinabi ni David sa kanyang puso, “Balang araw ako'y mamamatay sa kamay ni Saul. Walang higit na mabuti sa akin kundi ang tumakas tungo sa lupain ng mga Filisteo. Si Saul ay mawawalan ng pag-asa na ako'y hanapin pa sa nasasakupan ng Israel; at ako'y makakatakas mula sa kanyang kamay.”

Kaya't si David at ang animnaraang lalaking kasama niya ay umalis at pumunta kay Achis na anak ni Maoch na hari ng Gat.

Nanirahan si David na kasama ni Achis sa Gat, siya at ang kanyang mga tauhan, bawat lalaki at ang kanyang sambahayan, si David at ang kanyang dalawang asawa, si Ahinoam na taga-Jezreel at si Abigail na taga-Carmel na balo ni Nabal.

Nang ibalita kay Saul na si David ay tumakas na patungo sa Gat ay hindi na niya hinanap siyang muli.

At sinabi ni David kay Achis, “Kung ngayo'y nakatagpo ako ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, bigyan nila ako ng isang matitirahan sa isa sa mga bayan sa kabukiran upang ako'y manirahan doon; sapagkat bakit maninirahang kasama mo ang iyong lingkod sa lunsod ng hari?”

Kaya't ibinigay ni Achis sa kanya ang Siclag nang araw na iyon. Kaya't ang Siclag ay naging sakop ng mga hari ng Juda hanggang sa araw na ito.

At ang bilang ng mga araw na tumira si David sa lupain ng mga Filisteo ay isang taon at apat na buwan.

Noon ay umahon si David at ang kanyang mga tauhan at sinalakay ang mga Gesureo, mga Gerzeo, at ang mga Amalekita; sapagkat sila ang mga dating mamamayan sa lupain, sa daang patungo sa Shur, hanggang sa lupain ng Ehipto.

Sinalakay ni David ang lupain, at walang itinirang buháy kahit lalaki o babae man, at tinangay ang mga tupa, baka, asno, kamelyo, at ang mga kasuotan, at bumalik kay Achis.

10 Kapag nagtanong si Achis, “Laban kanino kayo sumalakay ngayon?” ay sasabihin ni David, “Laban sa Negeb ng Juda,” o “laban sa Negeb ng mga Jerameelita,” o “laban sa Negeb ng mga Kineo.”

11 Walang iniligtas na buháy si David kahit lalaki o babae man, upang walang makapagbalita sa Gat, na sinasabi, “Baka sila'y magsumbong laban sa atin, na sabihin, ‘Ganito't ganoon ang ginawa ni David.’” Palaging gayon ang kanyang ginagawa sa buong panahong siya'y nakatira sa lupain ng mga Filisteo.

12 Nagtiwala si Achis kay David, na inaakalang, “Ginawa niya ang kanyang sarili na kasuklamsuklam sa bayang Israel kaya't siya'y magiging lingkod ko magpakailanman.”

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.”

So David and the six hundred men(A) with him left and went(B) over to Achish(C) son of Maok king of Gath. 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. When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.

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?”

So on that day Achish gave him Ziklag,(E) and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since. David lived(F) in Philistine territory a year and four months.

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.) 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)

27 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing 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 coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.

And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.

And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.

And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?

Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.

And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.

And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.

And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.

10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.

11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.

12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.

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.” 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. 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. And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; so he sought him no more.

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?” So Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore (D)Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. Now [b]the time that David (E)dwelt in the country of the Philistines was one full year and four months.

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. 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.”
