Jonah 1:10-17
Then the men became extremely afraid, and they said to him,“ How could you do this?” For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.So they said to him,“ What should we do to you so that the sea will become calm for us?”— for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy.And he said to them,“ Pick me up and hurl me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm for you, because I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you.”However, the men rowed desperately to return to land, but they could not, because the sea was becoming even stormier against them.Then they cried out to the Lord and said,“ We earnestly pray, O Lord, do not let us perish on account of this man’s life, and do not put innocent blood on us; for You, Lord, have done as You pleased.”So they picked up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, and the sea stopped its raging.Then the men became extremely afraid of the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows.And the Lord designated a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish for three days and three nights.

1 Samuel 27 1-1 Samuel 27 12
Then David said to himself,“ Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to safely escape into the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand.”So David set out and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.And David lived with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each with his own household— David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s widow.Now it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.Then David said to Achish,“ If now I have found favor in your sight, have them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, so that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.The number of days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.Now David and his men went up and attacked the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for they were the inhabitants of the land from ancient times, as you come to Shur even as far as the land of Egypt.David attacked the land and did not leave a man or a woman alive, and he took the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned and came to Achish.Now Achish said,“ Where did you carry out an attack today?” And David said,“ Against the Negev of Judah, against the Negev of the Jerahmeelites, and against the Negev of the Kenites.”And David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying,“ Otherwise they will tell about us, saying,‘ This is what David has done, and this has been his practice all the time that he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’ ”So Achish believed David, saying,“ He has undoubtedly made himself repulsive among his people Israel; therefore he will become my servant forever.”
