2. So David got up and crossed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
3. David settled with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each with his household. David took along his two wives Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
4. And it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.
5. Then David said to Achish, “Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, then let them give me a place in one of the country towns that I can live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
6. So Achish gave him Ziklag on that day. (Therefore, Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah until this day.)
