Chapter 27, And David said in his heart,
I shall now perish one day by the hand of

00:05.820 --> 00:06.060
Saul.

00:07.280 --> 00:10.660
There is nothing better for me than that I
should speedily escape into the land of

00:10.660 --> 00:11.280
the Philistines.

00:12.180 --> 00:16.620
And Saul shall despair of me, to seek me
any more in any coast of Israel.

00:17.720 --> 00:20.140
So shall I escape out of his hand.

00:20.480 --> 00:23.880
And David arose, and he passed over with
the six hundred men that were with him

00:23.880 --> 00:26.580
unto Achish the son of Maok, king of Gath.

00:27.140 --> 00:31.220
And David dwelt with Achish at Gath,
he and his men, every man with his

00:31.220 --> 00:36.540
household, even David with his two wives,
Ahinuam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the

00:36.540 --> 00:38.160
Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.

00:38.760 --> 00:43.160
And it was told Saul that David was fled
to Gath, and he sought no more again for

00:43.160 --> 00:43.400
him.

00:44.240 --> 00:49.500
And David said unto Achish, If I have now
found grace in thine eyes, let them give

00:49.500 --> 00:52.180
me a place in some town in the country,
that I may dwell there.

00:52.900 --> 00:55.900
Or why should thy servant dwell in the
royal city with thee?

00:56.380 --> 00:58.380
Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day.

00:58.840 --> 01:01.800
Wherefore, Ziklag pertaineth unto the
kings of Judah unto this day.

01:02.480 --> 01:05.760
And the time that David dwelt in the
country of the Philistines was a full year

01:05.760 --> 01:06.660
and four months.

01:07.280 --> 01:10.820
And David and his men went up,
and invaded the Geshurites, and the

01:10.820 --> 01:12.480
Gezrites, and the Amalekites.

01:12.840 --> 01:16.940
For those nations were of old the
inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to

01:16.940 --> 01:18.500
shore, even unto the land of Egypt.

01:18.500 --> 01:23.640
And David smote the land, and left neither
man nor woman alive, and took away the

01:23.640 --> 01:26.820
sheep, and the oxen, and the asses,
and the camels, and the apparel,

01:27.020 --> 01:28.700
and returned, and came to Achish.

01:29.280 --> 01:32.280
And Achish said, Whither have ye made a
road to-day?

01:32.400 --> 01:36.320
And David said, Against the south of
Judah, and against the south of the

01:36.320 --> 01:39.060
Jerameelites, and against the south of the
Kenites.

01:39.380 --> 01:43.000
And David saved neither man nor woman
alive to bring tidings to Gath,

01:43.120 --> 01:46.540
saying, Lest they should tell on us,
saying, So did David.

01:46.540 --> 01:49.720
And so will be his manner all the while he
dwelleth in the country of the

01:49.720 --> 01:50.360
Philistines.

01:51.000 --> 01:56.000
And Achish believed David, saying,
He hath made his people Israel utterly to

01:56.000 --> 01:56.640
abhor him.

01:57.720 --> 02:01.000
Therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
