The raids of David and his men, and David’s answer to Achish
다윗과 그의 사람들의 침로와 아기스에게 한 다윗의 대답
1 Samuel 27:8–12: David and his men go up and raid the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; the text says, “for those were the inhabitants of the land who were of old, on the way to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.” David strikes the land, and saves no man or woman alive, and takes away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returns, and comes to Achish. Achish says, “Against whom have you made a raid today?” David says, “Against the South of Judah, against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.” David saves 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.’” Achish believes David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he will be my servant forever.” The Korean Revised Version gives David’s words of 27:11 as what he feared in his thought (그의 생각에).
