- Then David said to himself, "Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand."
- So David arose and crossed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
- And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's widow.
- Now it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.
- Then David said to Achish, "If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?"

- 大卫心里说,必有一日我死在扫罗手里,不如逃奔非利士地去。扫罗见我不在以色列的境内,就必绝望,不再寻索我。这样我可以脱离他的手。
- 于是大卫起身,和跟随他的六百人投奔迦特王玛俄的儿子亚吉去了。
- 大卫和他的两个妻,就是耶斯列人亚希暖和作过拿八妻的迦密人亚比该,并跟随他的人,连各人的眷属,都住在迦特的亚吉那里。
- 有人告诉扫罗说,大卫逃到迦特。扫罗就不再寻索他了。
- 大卫对亚吉说,我若在你眼前蒙恩,求你在京外的城邑中赐我一个地方居住。仆人何必与王同住京都呢。
