1 Samuel 27:9-11

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁹ Whenever David attacked the land, he did not leave a single person alive, either man or woman, but he took flocks, herds, donkeys, camels, and clothing.^(A) Then he came back to Achish, ¹⁰ who enquired, ‘Where did you raid today? ’^[a](B)

David replied, ‘The south country of Judah,’ ‘The south country of the Jerahmeelites,’^(C) or ‘The south country of the Kenites.’^(D)

¹¹ David did not let a man or woman live to be brought to Gath, for he said, ‘Or they will inform on us and say, “This is what David did.” ’ This was David’s custom during the whole time he stayed in the Philistine territory.
