4. Now it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.
5. Then David said to Achish, "If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?"
6. So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.
7. The number of days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.
8. Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for they were the inhabitants of the land from ancient times, as you come to Shur even as far as the land of Egypt.
