1 Samuel 27:11-12

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ David never brought a man or woman alive to Gath. He thought, “If we bring anyone alive, he may tell Achish, ‘This is what David really did.’” David did this all the time he lived in the Philistine land. ¹² Achish trusted David. He said to himself, “David’s own people, the Israelites, now hate David very much. So David will serve me forever.”
