---

← 1 Samuel 27:1	1 Samuel 27:2 (KJV)	1 Samuel 27:3 →
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.
