Contextual Overview
1 David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Sha'ul: there is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Pelishtim; and Sha'ul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Yisra'el: so shall I escape out of his hand. 2 David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Akhish the son of Ma`okh, king of Gat. 3 David lived with Akhish at Gat, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Achino'am the Yizre`elite, and Avigayil the Karmelite, Naval's wife. 4 It was told Sha'ul that David was fled to Gat: and he sought no more again for him. 5 David said to Akhish, 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? 6 Then Akhish gave him Tziklag that day: why Tziklag pertains to the kings of Yehudah to this day. 7 The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Pelishtim was a full year and four months.
