1 Samuel 27:11-12

Good News Translation

¹¹ David would kill everyone, men and women, so that no one could go back to Gath and report what he and his men had really done. This is what David did the whole time he lived in Philistia. ¹² But Achish trusted David and said to himself, “He is hated so much by his own people the Israelites that he will have to serve me all his life.”
