09:021:009 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom
           thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped
           in a cloth behind the ephod:  if thou wilt take that, take it: 
           for there is no other save that here.  And David said, There is
           none like that; give it me.

09:021:010 And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went
           to Achish the king of Gath.

09:021:011 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David
           the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him
           in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David
           his ten thousands?

09:021:012 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore
           afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

09:021:013 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself
           mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate,
           and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.

09:021:014 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: 
           wherefore then have ye brought him to me?

09:021:015 Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to
           play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into
           my house?

09:022:001 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave
           Adullam:  and when his brethren and all his father’s house
           heard it, they went down thither to him.

09:022:002 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in
           debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves
           unto him; and he became a captain over them:  and there were
           with him about four hundred men.

09:022:003 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab:  and he said unto the
           king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come
           forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.

09:022:004 And he brought them before the king of Moab:  and they dwelt
           with him all the while that David was in the hold.

09:022:005 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold;
           depart, and get thee into the land of Judah.  Then David
           departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.

09:022:006 When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that
           were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in
           Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were
           standing about him;)

09:022:007 Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear
           now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of
           you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of
           thousands, and captains of hundreds;
