1 Samuel 27:3-5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ And David dwelt with A′chish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahin′o-am of Jezre′el, and Ab′igail of Carmel, Nabal’s widow. ⁴ And when it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, he sought for him no more.

⁵ Then David said to A′chish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given me in one of the country towns, that I may dwell there; for why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”
