1 Samuel 27:9-11

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁹ David ^[a]attacked the land and did not leave a man or a woman alive, and he ^(A)took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned and came to Achish. ¹⁰ Now Achish said, “Where have you ^(B)made a raid today?” And David said, “Against the ^[b]Negev of Judah and against the ^[c]Negev of ^(C)the Jerahmeelites and against the ^[d]Negev of ^(D)the Kenites.” ¹¹ David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, “Otherwise they will tell about us, saying, ‘So has David done and so has been his practice all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’”
