5 Then David (beloved) said to Achish (I will blacken), “If I have found favor in your eyes, let me be assigned a place in one of the outlying towns, so I can live there. For why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”

6 That day Achish (I will blacken) gave him Ziklag (winding), and to this day it still belongs to the kings of Judah (praised).

7 And the time that David (beloved) lived in Philistine (immigrants) territory amounted to a year and four months.
