ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૭:૧૧
દાઉદે કોઈપણ પુરુષોને કે સ્ત્રીઓને ગાથમાં લાવવા માટે તેઓને જીવતાં રહેવા દીધા નહિ. તેણે કહ્યું, “રખેને તેઓ અમારી વિરુદ્ધ સાક્ષી પૂરે, કે ‘દાઉદે આમ કર્યું.” જ્યાં સુધી તે પલિસ્તીઓના દેશમાં રહ્યો તેટલો બધો વખત તે આવું જ કરતો રહ્યો છે.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २७:११
दाऊद ने स्त्री पुरुष किसी को जीवित न छोड़ा कि उन्हें गत में पहुँचाए; उसने सोचा था, “ऐसा न हो कि वे हमारा काम बताकर यह कहें, कि दाऊद ने ऐसा-ऐसा किया है। वरन् जब से वह पलिश्तियों के देश में रहता है, तब से उसका काम ऐसा ही है।”

9David struck the land, and saved no man or woman alive, and took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned, and came to Achish.

10Achish said, “Against whom have you made a raid today?” David said, “Against the South of Judah, against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.”

11David saved neither man nor woman alive to bring them to Gath, saying, “Lest they should tell about us, saying, ‘David did this, and this has been his way all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’”

12Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he will be my servant forever.”
