²And David arose and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
³And David abode with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household; David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
⁴And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; and he sought no more for him.
⁵And David said to Achish, If now I have found favour in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some country-town, that I may abide there; for why should thy servant abide in the royal city with thee?
⁶And Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.
⁷And the time that David abode in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.
⁸And David and his men went up and made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Gerzites, and the Amalekites: for those were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, and as far as the land of Egypt.
⁹And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
¹⁰So Achish said, Have ye not made a raid to-day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
¹¹And David left neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, for he said, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David. And such was his custom as long as he abode in the country of the Philistines.
¹²And Achish trusted David, saying, He has made himself utterly odious among his people Israel; and he shall be my servant for ever. (1 Sam. 27:1‑12)

1 Sam. 30:1‑31• ¹And it came to pass, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the south, and upon Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag and burned it with fire;
²and had taken the women captives that were in it; both great and small: they had put none to death, but had carried them off, and went on their way.
³And David and his men came to the city, and behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives.
⁴Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
⁵And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
⁶And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him; for the soul of all the people was embittered, every man because of his sons and because of his daughters; but David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.
⁷And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, Bring near to me, I pray thee, the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod near to David.
⁸And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he said to him, Pursue; for thou shalt assuredly overtake them and shalt certainly recover.
⁹So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor; and those that were left stayed behind.
¹⁰And David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were too exhausted to go over the torrent Besor.
¹¹And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink,
¹²and gave him a piece of fig-cake and two raisin-cakes, and he ate, and his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, for three days and three nights.
¹³And David said to him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
¹⁴We made a raid against the south of the Cherethites, and against what belongs to Judah, and against the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
¹⁵And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou wilt neither put me to death nor deliver me up into the hand of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.
¹⁶And he brought him down, and behold, they were spread over the whole land, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
¹⁷And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.
¹⁸And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken: and David recovered his two wives.
¹⁹And there was nothing missed by them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil nor anything that they had taken: David brought all back.
²⁰And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before the other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
²¹And David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David, and whom they had left behind at the torrent Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and David drew near to the people and saluted them.
²²And all the wicked men, and men of Belial, of those that had gone with David, answered and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away and depart.
²³Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which Jehovah has given us, who has preserved us, and given the troop that came against us into our hand.
²⁴And who will hearken to you in this matter? For as his share is that goes down to the battle, so shall his share be that abides by the baggage: they shall share alike.
²⁵And it was so from that day forward; and he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
²⁶And David came to Ziklag, and he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah:
²⁷to those in Bethel, and to those in south Ramoth, and to those in Jattir,
²⁸and to those in Aroer, and to those in Siphmoth, and to those in Eshtemoa,
²⁹and to those in Rachal, and to those in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those in the cities of the Kenites,
³⁰and to those in Hormah, and to those in Chor-ashan, and to those in Athach,
³¹and to those in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men went about. (1 Sam. 30:1‑31)
