³⁹ But after three years, two of the servants of Shimei went in flight to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And word was given to Shimei that his servants had gone to Gath.

¹⁰ Then David got up and went in flight that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish, the king of Gath.

² So David and the six hundred men who were with him went over to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

³ And David and his men were living with Achish at Gath; every man had his family with him, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, who had been the wife of Nabal.
