ULT 1SA Chapter 27

1SA 27 ©

27And David said to his heart, “Now I will be swept away one day by the hand of Saul. There is no good thing for me, but I will certainly slip away to the land of the Philistines. And Saul will despair of me, of seeking me again in all the territory of Israel, and I will slip away from his hand.” 2And David rose and passed over, he and 600 men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maok, the king of Gath. 3And David dwelled with Achish in Gath, he and his men, a man and his house, David and the two of his wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite woman and Abigail the Carmelite woman, the wife of Nabal. 4And it was told to Saul that David had fled to Gath. And he did not again seek him more.

5And David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let them give to me a place in one of the cities of the field, and I may dwell there. And why should your servant dwell in the city of the kingship with you?” 6And on that day Achish gave to him Ziklag. Therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah until this day.

7And the number of the days that David dwelled in the field of the Philistines was days and four months. 8And David and his men went up and raided against the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites. For they were dwelling in the land, which is from ancient times, as you go to Shur, and as far as the land of Egypt.[fn] 9And David struck the land and did not let a man or a woman live. And he took sheep and cattle and donkeys and camels and garments. And he returned and came to Achish. 10And Achish said, “Against whom did you raid today?” And David said, “Against the south of Judah and against the south of the Jerahmeelite and against the south of the Kenite.” 11Now David did not let a man or a woman live to bring to Gath, saying, “Lest they tell about us, saying, ‘Thus did David.’ ” And thus was his custom all the days that he dwelled in the field of the Philistines. 12And Achish trusted in David, saying, “He certainly stinks among his people in Israel, and he will become an eternal servant for me.”


Instead of the Girzites which is found in some ancient Hebrew manuscripts, some modern versions have the Gizrites which is found in the margin of some Hebrew manuscripts.
