no more again for him.
027:005 David said to Achish, If now I have found favor in your eyes,
let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country,
that I may dwell there: for why should your servant dwell
in the royal city with you?
027:006 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: why Ziklag pertains

027:008 David and his men went up, and made a raid on the Geshurites,
and the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those [nations] were
the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, as you go to Shur,
even to the land of Egypt.
027:009 David struck the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive,
