And David said in his heart, "I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any border of Israel. So shall I escape out of his hand."

And when he saw that, he arose and went for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.

And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid and fled, and went into Egypt.

And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men who were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
