1 Samuel 27:1-4
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 27
1
Then David said to himself, 'Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to safely escape into the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand.'
2
So David set out and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3
And David lived with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each with his
own
household—David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s widow.
4
Now it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.
King James Version
Chapter 27
1
And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
2
And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3
And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
4
And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 27
1
David said to himself, "One of these days I’ll be swept away by Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape immediately to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me everywhere in Israel, and I’ll escape from him."
2
So David set out with his six hundred men and went over to Achish son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
3
David and his men stayed with Achish in Gath. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, Nabal’s widow.
4
When it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
New Living Translation
Chapter 27
1
But David kept thinking to himself, 'Someday Saul is going to get me. The best thing I can do is escape to the Philistines. Then Saul will stop hunting for me in Israelite territory, and I will finally be safe.'
2
So David took his 600 men and went over and joined Achish son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
3
David and his men and their families settled there with Achish at Gath. David brought his two wives along with him — Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, Nabal’s widow from Carmel.
4
Word soon reached Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he stopped hunting for him.
English Standard Version
Chapter 27
1
Then David said in his heart, "Now I shall perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of seeking me any longer within the borders of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand."
2
So David arose and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3
And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, Nabal 's widow.
4
And when it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, he no longer sought him.
New International Version
Chapter 27
1
But David thought to himself, "One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand."
2
So David and the six hundred men with him left and went over to Achish son of Maok king of Gath.
3
David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
4
When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
