So David arose and crossed over, he and ^(b)the six hundred men who were with him, to ^(c)Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, ^(d)each with his household, even David with ^(e)his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's ^[c]widow.

Now it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.

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?"

So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore ^(f)Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.
