And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 27 of 1 Samuel. David remains in Philistine territory for a year and four months and conducts raids against various peoples while deceiving Achish about his actions. His strategy seeks to prevent Achish from discovering his true objectives. The section presents a more complex dimension of David: he is not portrayed here simply as an ideal model, but as a leader using survival tactics in a context of war and exile. The narrative tension increases because Achish begins trusting him deeply.
