Read 1 Samuel 27 in full →David Escapes to the Philistines
27Then David said in his heart, “Now I will be swept away one day by the hand of Saul. aThere is nothing better for me than that I should utterly escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand.”
