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)”

Ða-vít Liên Kết với Dân Phi-li-tin
27 Bấy giờ Ða-vít thầm nghĩ, “Trước sau gì mình cũng sẽ rơi vào tay Sau-lơ. Không gì tốt hơn là đi mau xuống xứ của dân Phi-li-tin; bấy giờ Sau-lơ sẽ thất vọng và sẽ không tìm kiếm mình trong khắp nước I-sơ-ra-ên nữa. Như vậy mình sẽ thoát khỏi tay ông ta.” 2 Nghĩ thế, Ða-vít bèn đứng dậy, cùng với sáu trăm người theo ông, đến với A-kích con trai Ma-óc, vua Gát. 3 Vậy Ða-vít ở với A-kích tại Gát. Ða-vít và những người theo ông ai nấy đều dẫn theo gia đình mình. Ða-vít dẫn theo hai vợ, A-hi-nô-am người Giê-rê-ên, và A-bi-ga-in người Cạt-mên, góa phụ của Na-banh. 4 Người ta báo cho Sau-lơ hay rằng Ða-vít đã trốn đến Gát, nên ông không truy lùng ông ấy nữa. 5 Ða-vít nói với A-kích, “Nếu tôi được ơn trước mắt ngài, xin cho tôi một nơi trong một thành nhỏ nào ở miền quê trong đất nước của ngài, để tôi ở tại đó, vì làm sao tôi tớ ngài có thể ở với ngài trong hoàng thành được?” 6 Vậy hôm đó A-kích ban cho ông Thành Xích-lắc. Vì thế Xích-lắc thuộc về các vua Giu-đa cho đến ngày nay.
7 Vả, cho đến lúc ấy, Ða-vít đã ở trong xứ của dân Phi-li-tin được một năm và bốn tháng. 8 Ða-vít và những người theo ông đi lên cướp phá các dân Ghê-sua, dân Ghi-xi, và dân A-ma-léc. Ðó là những dân từ xưa vẫn sống ở các miền đi[a] từ Su-rơ đến xứ Ai-cập. 9 Khi Ða-vít tấn công nơi nào trong các xứ đó, ông không chừa một người đàn ông hay đàn bà nào sống sót. Ông cướp đi tất cả chiên, bò, lừa, lạc đà, và quần áo, rồi trở về, và đến gặp A-kích. 10 Nếu A-kích hỏi, “Hôm nay ngươi đã đi đánh phá ở đâu?” thì Ða-vít đáp, “Tôi đi đánh phá ở miền nam của Giu-đa,” hoặc “ở miền nam của Giê-ra-mê-ên,” hoặc “ở miền nam của dân Kê-ni.” 11 Ða-vít không chừa một người nào dù nam hay nữ sống sót, để đem về trong xứ Gát, vì ông bảo, “Kẻo chúng nói cho dân ấy biết mình đã làm gì ở đâu.” Vậy Ða-vít cứ làm như thế trong suốt thời gian ông tá túc tại xứ Phi-li-tin. 12 Vì thế A-kích rất tin Ða-vít; ông nói, “Hắn đã làm cho dân I-sơ-ra-ên, dân tộc của hắn, ghê tởm hắn. Như vậy hắn sẽ làm tôi cho ta vĩnh viễn.”

King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
5 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?
6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
8 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.
9 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.” 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.”

David Flees to the Philistines
27 Then David said in his heart, “Now I shall perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of seeking me any longer within the borders of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand.” 2 So David arose and went over, he and (A)the six hundred men who were with him, (B)to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath. 3 And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, and David with (C)his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, Nabal's widow. 4 And when it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, he no longer sought him.
5 Then David said to Achish, “If (D)I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given me in one of the country towns, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?” 6 So that day Achish gave him (E)Ziklag. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. 7 (F)And the number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.
8 Now David (G)and his men went up and made raids against (H)the Geshurites, (I)the Girzites, and (J)the Amalekites, for these were the inhabitants of the land from of old, (K)as far as Shur, to the land of Egypt. 9 And David would strike the land and would leave neither man nor woman alive, but would take away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the garments, and come back to Achish. 10 When Achish asked, “Where have you (L)made a raid today?” David would say, “Against the Negeb of Judah,” or, “Against the Negeb of (M)the Jerahmeelites,” or, “Against the Negeb of (N)the Kenites.” 11 And David would leave neither man nor woman alive to bring news to Gath, thinking, “lest they should tell about us and say, ‘So David has done.’” Such was his custom all the while he lived in the country of the Philistines. 12 And Achish trusted David, thinking, “He has made himself an utter stench to his people Israel; therefore he shall always be my servant.”
