09:027:006 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day:
wherefore Ziklag
pertaineth
unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
09:027:007 And the time that David dwelt in the country
of the
Philistines
was a full year and four months.
09:027:008 And David and his men went up, and invaded
the Geshurites, and
the
Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations
were of
old
the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur,
even
unto
the land of Egypt.
09:027:009 And David smote the land, and left neither
man nor woman
alive,
and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses,
and
the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came
to
Achish.
09:027:010 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a
road to day? And David
said,
Against the south of Judah, and against the south of
the
Jerahmeelites,
and against the south of the Kenites.
09:027:011 And David saved neither man nor woman alive,
to bring tidings
to
Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying,
So did
David,
and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth
in
the
country of the Philistines.
09:027:012 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath
made his people
Israel
utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant
for
ever.
09:028:001 And it came to pass in those days, that
the Philistines
gathered
their armies together for warfare, to fight with
Israel.
And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that
thou
shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.
09:028:002 And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt
know what thy
servant
can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will
I
make
thee keeper of mine head for ever.
09:028:003 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had
lamented him, and
buried
him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had
put
away
those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out
of
the
land.
09:028:004 And the Philistines gathered themselves
together, and came and
pitched
in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together,
and
they
pitched in Gilboa.
09:028:005 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines,
he was afraid,
and
his heart greatly trembled.
09:028:006 And when Saul enquired of the lord,
the lord answered him not,
neither
by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
09:028:007 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek
me a woman that hath a
familiar
spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her.
And
his
servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that
hath a
familiar
spirit at Endor.
