1 Samuel 27:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

27 And David said in his heart, “I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul. Is it not better for me that I save myself in the land of the Philistines—so that Saul may lose hope in seeking me anymore in all the territory of Israel—and so escape out of his hand?”

² Therefore, David arose. And he and the six hundred men who were with him went to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

³ And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each man with his household and David with his two wives (Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife Nabal the Carmelite).
