1
And David said in his heart, Now shall I be one day delivered into the hands of Saul; and there is no good thing for me unless I should escape into the land of the Philistines, and Saul should cease from seeking me through every coast of Israel: so I shall escape out of his hand.
2
So David arose, and the six hundred men that were with him, and he went to Anchus, son Ammach, king of Geth.
3
And David dwelt with Anchus, he and his men, each with his family; and David and both his wives, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
4
And it was told Saul that David had fled to Geth; and he no longer sought after him.
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?
