1 Samuel 27:2
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
So David set out with his six hundred men and went to Achish son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
In context
1 David, however, said to himself, “One of these days now I will be swept away by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will stop searching for me all over Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.”
2 So David set out with his six hundred men and went to Achish son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
3 David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
4 And when Saul learned that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
