1 Samuel 27:1-2

International Children’s Bible

David and the Philistines

27 But David thought to himself, “Saul will catch me someday. The best thing I can do is escape to the land of the Philistines. Then he will give up looking for me in Israel. That way I can get away from him.”

² So David and his 600 men left Israel. They went to Achish son of Maoch. Achish was king of Gath.
