NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

1 Samuel 27

David Flees to the Philistines

1

Then Davidh1732 saidh559  1to himselfh3820, "Nowh6258 I will perishh5595 oneh259 dayh3117 by the handh3027 of Saulh7586.  aThereh369 is nothingh369 betterh2896a for me thanh3588  2to escapeh4422 into the landh776 of the Philistinesh6430. Saulh7586 then will despairh2976 of searchingh1245 for me anymoreh5750 in allh3605 the territoryh1366 of Israelh3478, and I will escapeh4422 from his handh3027."

2

So Davidh1732 aroseh6965 and crossedh5674a overh5674a, he and  athe sixh8337a hundredh3967 menh376 whoh834 were with him, to  bAchishh397 the sonh1121 of Maochh4582, kingh4428 of Gathh1661.

3

And Davidh1732 livedh3427 with Achishh397 at Gathh1661, he and his menh376,  aeachh376 with his householdh1004, even Davidh1732 with  bhis twoh8147 wivesh802, Ahinoamh293 the Jezreelitessh3159, and Abigailh26 the Carmelitessh3761, Nabal'sh5037  1widowh802.

4

Now it was toldh5046 Saulh7586 that Davidh1732 had fledh1272 to Gathh1661, so he noh3808 longerh3254h5750 searchedh1245 for him.

5

Then Davidh1732 saidh559 to Achishh397, "Ifh518 nowh4994 I have foundh4672 favorh2580 in your sighth5869, let them giveh5414 me a placeh4725 in oneh259 of the citiesh5892b in the countryh7704, that I may liveh3427 thereh8033; for whyh4100 should your servanth5650 liveh3427 in the royalh4467 cityh5892b with you?"

6

So Achishh397 gaveh5414 him Ziklagh6860 that dayh3117; thereforeh3651  aZiklagh6860 hash1961 belonged to the kingsh4428 of Judahh3063 to thish2088 dayh3117.

7

The numberh4557 of daysh3117 that Davidh1732 livedh3427 in the countryh7704 of the Philistinesh6430 was  aa yearh3117 and fourh702 monthsh2320.

8

Now Davidh1732 and his menh376 wenth5927 up and raidedh6584  athe Geshuritesh1651 and the Girzitesh1629b and  bthe Amalekitesh6003; for they were the inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776 from ancienth5769 timesh5769, as you comeh935 to  cShurh7793 even as farh5704 as the landh776 of Egypth4714.

9

Davidh1732  1attackedh5221 the landh776 and did not leaveh2421a a manh376 or a womanh802 aliveh2421a, and he  atookh3947 away the sheeph6629, the cattleh1241, the donkeysh2543, the camelsh1581, and the clothingh899b. Then he returnedh7725 and cameh935 to Achishh397.

10

Now Achishh397 saidh559, "Whereh575 have you  amadeh6584 a raidh6584 todayh3117?" And Davidh1732 saidh559, "Againsth5921 the  1Negevh5045 of Judahh3063 and againsth5921 the  1Negevh5045 of  bthe Jerahmeelitesh3397 and againsth413 the  1Negevh5045 of  cthe Kenitesh7017."

11

Davidh1732 did not leaveh2421a a manh376 or a womanh802 aliveh2421a to bringh935 to Gathh1661, sayingh559, "Otherwiseh6435 they will tellh5046 abouth5921 us, sayingh559, `Soh3541 has Davidh1732 doneh6213a and soh3541 has been his practiceh4941 allh3605 the timeh3117 he has livedh3427 in the countryh7704 of the Philistinesh6430.' "

12

So Achishh397 believedh539 Davidh1732, sayingh559, "He has surelyh887 madeh887 himself odioush887 among his peopleh5971a Israelh3478; therefore he will becomeh1961 my servanth5650 foreverh5769."
