1 Samuel 27:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ David said to Achish, “If you are pleased with me, give me a place in one of your country towns. I can live there. I don’t really need to live near you in the royal city.”

⁶ So on that day Achish gave David the town of Ziklag. It has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since that time. ⁷ David lived in Philistine territory for a year and four months.
