27 ¹Davide anaganiza mumtima mwake, nati: “Tsiku lina ndidzawonongedwa ndi dzanja la Sauli. Palibe chabwino kwa ine koposa kuthawira msanga ku dziko la Afilisti. Ndipo Sauli adzaleka kundifunafuna m'malire onse a Israeli, ndipo ndidzapulumuka m'dzanja lake.” ²Davide ananyamuka nawoloka, iye ndi anthu 600 amene anali naye, kupita kwa Akisi mwana wa Maoki, mfumu ya Gati. ³Davide anakhala ndi Akisi ku Gati, iye ndi anthu ake, aliyense ndi a m'banja lake—Davide ndi akazi ake awiri, Ahinoamu wa ku Yezireeli ndi Abigayeli wa ku Karimeli, mkazi wamasiye wa Nabala. ⁴Pamene Sauli anauzidwa kuti Davide anathawira ku Gati, sanamufunenso.

⁵Davide anati kwa Akisi, “Ngati mwandikomera mtima, mundipatse malo m'mudzi wina wa kumidzi kuti ndikhaleko. Chifukwa chiyani mtumiki wanu akhale nanu mu mzinda waufumu?” ⁶Tsiku limenelo Akisi anamupatsa Zikilagi; choncho Zikilagi wakhala wa mafumu a Yuda mpaka lero. ⁷Nthawi imene Davide anakhala m'dziko la Afilisti inali chaka chimodzi ndi miyezi inayi.

⁸Davide ndi anthu ake anakwera nakathira nkhondo Agesuri, Agirizi, ndi Aamaleki, pakuti iwo anali okhala m'dziko limenelo kuyambira kalekale, kuloza ku Suri mpaka ku dziko la Igupto. ⁹Nthawi iliyonse imene Davide ankathira nkhondo dzikolo, sanasiye mwamuna kapena mkazi wamoyo, natenga nkhosa, ng'ombe, abulu, ngamila, ndi zovala, nabwerera kwa Akisi.

¹⁰Akisi ankafunsa, “Kodi mwakathira nkhondo kuti lero?” Davide ankayankha, “Ku Negebu wa Yuda,” “ku Negebu wa Ayerameeli,” kapena “ku Negebu wa Akeni.”

¹¹Davide sanasiye mwamuna kapena mkazi wamoyo kuti abwere naye ku Gati, poganiza kuti, “Angadzatinenere, nanena kuti, ‘Izi ndi zimene Davide anachita.’” Umu ndi mmene ankachitira nthawi yonse imene anakhala m'dziko la Afilisti.

¹²Akisi anamukhulupirira Davide, poganiza kuti, “Wadzisandutsa wonyansa kwambiri kwa anthu ake a Israeli; adzakhala mtumiki wanga kwamuyaya.”
