1 Samuel 27:5-7 ▼

5 David said to Achish, |If I have found favor with you, let me be given a place in one of the country towns so that I can live there. Why should your servant settle in the royal city with you?|

6 So Achish gave him Ziklag on that day. (For that reason Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah until this very day.)

7 The length of time that David lived in the Philistine countryside was a year and four months.
