David Flees To Achish In Gath

If you want it, take it because there is no other except it here." So David said, "There is none like it. Give it to me." 10 David got up that day and fled from Saul, and he went to King Achish of Gath. 11 The officials of Achish told him, "Isn't this David, king of the land? Isn't this the one about whom they sang as they danced, "Saul has struck down his thousands, but David his ten thousands'?"
