1 Samuel 27:11-12 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

11. David never brought a man or woman alive to Gath. He thought, “If we let anyone live, they might tell Achish what I really did.” David did this all the time he lived in the Philistine land.

12. Achish began to trust David and said to himself, “Now David’s own people hate him. The Israelites hate him very much. Now he will serve me forever.”
