1 Samuel 27:11-12

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

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. ¹² So Achish trusted David, thinking, ‘Since he has made himself repulsive to his people Israel, he will be my servant for ever.’
