CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

1 Samuel 27

David concludes that Saul will eventually kill him if he remains in Israel, so he moves with his six hundred men and their households to Philistine territory under Achish of Gath. Achish gives David Ziklag. From there David raids several peoples but tells Achish that he has been attacking areas associated with Judah, killing all witnesses so that his true activities remain hidden. Achish becomes convinced that David will serve him permanently.
