3 Y moró David con Achîs en Gath, él y los suyos, cada uno con su familia: David con sus dos mujeres, Ahinoam Jezreelita, y Abigail, la [que fué] mujer de Nabal el del Carmelo.
4 Y vino la nueva á Saúl que David se había huído á Gath, y no lo buscó más.
5 Y David dijo á Achîs: Si he hallado ahora gracia en tus ojos, séame dado lugar en algunas de las ciudades de la tierra, donde habite: porque ¿ha de morar tu siervo contigo en la ciudad real?

7 Y fué el número de los días que David habitó en la tierra de los Filisteos, cuatro meses y algunos días.
