દાઉદે આખીશને કહ્યું, “જો હું તારી દ્રષ્ટિમાં કૃપાપાત્ર હોઉં, તો મને રહેવા માટે દેશના કોઈએક નગરમાં જગ્યા આપ કે, હું ત્યાં રહું કેમ કે તારો સેવક રાજધાનીમાં તારી સાથે શા માટે રહે?”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २७:५
दाऊद ने आकीश से कहा, “यदि मुझ पर तेरे अनुग्रह की दृष्टि हो, तो देश की किसी बस्ती में मुझे स्थान दिला दे जहाँ मैं रहूँ; तेरा दास तेरे साथ राजधानी में क्यों रहे?”

In context

3David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.

4Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, so he stopped looking for him.

5David 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?”

6Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah to this day.

7The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
