1 Samuel 27:5 in Context — 1 Samuel 27
3 David et ses gens restèrent à Gath auprès d’Akisch; ils avaient chacun leur famille, et David avait ses deux femmes, Achinoam de Jizreel, et Abigaïl de Carmel, femme de Nabal.
4 Saül, informé que David s’était enfui à Gath, cessa de le chercher.
5 David dit à Akisch: Si j’ai trouvé grâce à tes yeux, qu’on me donne dans l’une des villes du pays un lieu où je puisse demeurer; car pourquoi ton serviteur habiterait-il avec toi dans la ville royale?
6 Et ce même jour Akisch lui donna Tsiklag. C’est pourquoi Tsiklag a appartenu aux rois de Juda jusqu’à ce jour.
7 Le temps que David demeura dans le pays des Philistins fut d’un an et quatre mois.
