1 Samuel 27:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

27 And David said in his heart: I shall gone day or other fall into the hands of Saul: is it not better for me to flee, and to be saved in the land of the Philistines, that Saul may despair of me, and cease to seek me in all the coasts of Israel? I will flee then out of his hands.

² And David arose and went away, both he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achis the son of Maoch, king of Geth.

³ And David dwelt with Achis at Geth, he and his men: every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
