⁵ Then David said to Achish, "If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?"

⁵ One day, David was talking with Achish and said, "If you are happy with me, then let me live in one of the towns in the countryside. I'm not important enough to live here with you in the royal city."

⁵ David said to Akhish, "If you are now favorably disposed toward me, let me have a place to live in one of the cities in the countryside. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?"

⁵ And 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?

⁵ David said to Achish, "If you are pleased with me, give me a place in one of the country towns. I am only your servant. I should live there, not here with you in this royal city."⁵ And David said to Achish, If I have now found grace in your eyes, let the people give me a place in one of the towns in the desert, that I may dwell there; so that your servant may not dwell in the royal city with you.

⁵ David said to Achish, "If you are my friend, let me have a small town to live in. There is no need, sir, for me to live with you in the capital city." ⁵ And David said to Achish, Please, if I have found favor in your eyes, they shall give to me a place in one of the cities of the field, and I shall live there. Yea, why should your servant live in the royal city with you?⁵ And Dauid sayde vnto Achis: Yf I haue founde grace in thy sighte, then let there be geuen me a place in one of the cities of the londe, that I maye dwell therin. Wherfore shulde thy seruaunt dwell in the kynges cite with the?

⁵ And David said unto Achish, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the ^[a]country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee? ⁵ Then David said to Achish, If now I have grace in your eyes, let me have a place in one of the smaller towns of your land, to be my living-place; for it is not right for your servant to be living with you in the king's town.⁵ And Dauid sayde vnto Achis: If I haue now founde grace in thyne eyes, let them geue me a place in some towne in ye countrey, that I may dwell there: For why should thy seruaunt dwell in the head citie of the kingdome with thee?⁵ And David said unto Achish: 'If now I have found favour in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there; for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?'⁵ And Dauid said vnto Achish, If I haue now found grace in thine eyes, let them giue mee a place in some towne in the countrey, that I may dwel there: for why should thy seruant dwell in the royall citie with thee? ⁵ And David said to Anchus, If now thy servant has found grace in thine eyes, let them give me, I pray thee, a place in one of the cities in the country, and I will dwell there: for why does thy servant dwell with thee in a royal city? ⁵ And David said unto Achish, If now I have found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee? ⁵ Then David said to Achish, “If I have found favor in your eyes, let me be assigned a place in one of the outlying towns, so I can live there. For why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”⁵ Forsothe Dauid seide to Achis, If Y haue founden grace in thin iyen, a place be youun to me in oon of the citees of this cuntrey, that Y dwelle there; for whi dwellith thi seruaunt in the citee of the kyng with thee?⁵ And David saith unto Achish, `If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, they give to me a place in one of the cities of the field, and I dwell there, yea, why doth thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?'⁵ And David said to Achish, If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should your slave dwell in the royal city with you?⁵ And David said to Achish, If I have now found grace in thy eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?⁵ David said to Achish, If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you? ⁵ Then David said to Achish, "If I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?"

⁵ One day David said to Achish, "If it is all right with you, we would rather live in one of the country towns instead of here in the royal city."

⁵ Then David said to Achish, "If I have found favor in your eyes, let me be given a place in one of the country towns, that I may live there. For why should your servant live with you in the city of the king?"

⁵ Then David said to Achish, "If I have found favor in your sight, let a place be given me in one of the country towns, so that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?" ⁵ Then said David unto Achish - If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there, - for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city, with thee?⁵ And David said to Achis: If I have found favour in thy sight, let a place be given me in one of the cities of this country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?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?"⁵ And David says to Achish, "Now if I have found grace in your eyes, they give a place to me in one of the cities of the field, and I dwell there, indeed, why does your servant dwell in the royal city with you?"

⁵ Then David said to Achish, "If it's agreeable to you, assign me a place in one of the rural villages. It doesn't seem right that I, your mere servant, should be taking up space in the royal city."

⁵ Then David said to Achish, "If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?"⁶ That day Achish gave Ziklag^(C1) to him, and it still belongs to the kings of Judah today. ⁶ Then Akhish gave him Tziklag that day: why Tziklag pertains to the kings of Yehudah to this day.

⁶ Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. ⁶ So Achish gave him Ziklag on that day. (Therefore, Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah until this day.) ⁶ So that day Achish gave him ^(e)Ziklag. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

⁶ That day Achish gave David the town of Ziklag, and Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since. ⁶ So Achish gave him Ziklag on that day. (For that reason Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah until this very day.) ⁶ Then Achish gave David the town of Ziklag that day. Therefore ^(C1)Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to ^(F1)this day.⁶ So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore ^(C1)Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.⁶ Then Achish gaue him Ziklag that same day: therefore Ziklag pertaineth vnto the kings of Iudah vnto this day.⁶ So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore ^(C1)Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

⁶ Achish gave David the town of Ziklag that same day, and Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since. ⁶ That very day Akhish gave him Ziklag, and that's why to this day Ziklag belongs to the kings of Y'hudah.

⁶ And Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.

⁶ That day Achish gave David the town of Ziklag. And Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since.⁶ Then Achish gave him Zinklag that day; therefore Zinklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day. ⁶ So Achish gave him the town of Ziklag, and for this reason Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since. ⁶ And Achish gave Ziklag to him in that day. Therefore, Ziklag has been counted to the kings of Judah until this day.⁶ Then Achis gaue him Siclag the same daye. Therfore belongeth. Siclag to the kynges of Iuda vnto this daye. ⁶ Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. ⁶ So Achish straight away gave him Ziklag: and for that reason Ziklag has been the property of the kings of Judah to this day.⁶ Then Achis gaue him Ziklag that same day, for which cause Ziklag pertayneth vnto the kinges of Iuda vnto this day.⁶ Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day; wherefore Ziklag belongeth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. ⁶ Then Achish gaue him Ziklag that day: wherfore Ziklag pertaineth vnto the kings of Iudah vnto this day. ⁶ And he gave him Sekelac in that day: therefore Sekelac came into possession of the king of Judea to this day. ⁶ Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. ⁶ That day Achish gave him Ziklag, and to this day it still belongs to the kings of Judah.⁶ Therfor Achis yaf to hym Sichelech in that dai, for which cause Sichelech was maad in to the possessioun of the kyngis of Juda `til in to this dai.⁶ And Achish giveth to him in that day Ziklag, therefore hath Ziklag been to the kings of Judah till this day.⁶ Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag pertains to the kings of Judah to this day.⁶ Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth to the kings of Judah to this day.⁶ Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: why Ziklag pertains to the kings of Judah to this day. ⁶ So Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

⁶ So Achish gave him the town of Ziklag (which still belongs to the kings of Judah to this day), ⁶ So Achish gave him the town of Ziklag that day. Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. ⁶ So that day Achish gave him Ziklag; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. ⁶ So Achish gave him, on that day, Ziklag, - wherefore Ziklag hath pertained unto the kings of Judah, unto this day.⁶ Then Achis gave him Siceleg that day: for which reason Siceleg belongeth to the kings of Juda unto this day.⁶ So that day A'chish gave him Ziklag; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.⁶ And Achish gives Ziklag to him in that day, therefore Ziklag has been for the kings of Judah until this day.^6-7 So Achish assigned him Ziklag. (This is how Ziklag got to be what it is now, a city of the kings of Judah.) David lived in Philistine country a year and four months.⁶ So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore ^(C1)Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.⁷ The length of time that David stayed in Philistine territory amounted to a year and four months.^(C1)
