1 Samuel 27:1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the
hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape
into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any
more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
2 And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with
him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 And David dwelt 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.
4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again
for him.
5 And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them
give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why
should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the
kings of Judah unto this day.
7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full
year and four months.
8 And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites,
and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land,
as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away
the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and
returned, and came to Achish.
10 And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against
the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the
south of the Kenites.
11 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.
12 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to
abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
