1 Samuel 27:7-9

New English Translation

⁷ The length of time^[a] that David lived in the Philistine countryside was a year^[b] and four months.

⁸ Then David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. (They had been living in that land for a long time, from the approach^[c] to Shur as far as the land of Egypt.) ⁹ When David would attack a district,^[d] he would leave neither man nor woman alive. He would take sheep, cattle, donkeys, camels, and clothing and would then go back to Achish.
