Verse 6 is found in chapter 27 of 1 Samuel. David concludes that Saul will eventually seek him again and decides to take refuge among the Philistines. Achish, king of Gath, grants him Ziklag. The decision is understandable from the logic of survival, but introduces a morally complex stage in the story. David moves from being an enemy of the Philistines to living under the protection of one of their kings. The narrative shows God’s chosen one passing through ambiguous circumstances before reaching the throne.
