1Samuel:27:8-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And David and his men went up ,
and invaded the Geshurites ,
and the Gezrites ,
and the Amalekites :
for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land ,
as thou goest to Shur ,
even unto the land of Egypt .
*
And David smote the land ,
and left neither man nor woman alive ,
and took away the sheep ,
and the oxen ,
and the asses ,
and the camels ,
and the apparel ,
and returned ,
and came to Achish .
*
And Achish said ,
Whither have ye made a road to day ?
And David said ,
Against the south of Judah ,
and against the south of the Jerahmeelites ,
and against the south of the Kenites .
*
And David saved neither man nor woman alive ,
to bring tidings to Gath ,
saying ,
Lest they should tell on us ,
saying ,
So did David ,
and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines .
*
And Achish believed David ,
saying ,
He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him ;
therefore he shall be my servant for ever .
