1 Samuel 27:1-2 ▼

1 Then David said to himself, “Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to safely escape into the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand.”

2 So David set out and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
