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;
