Hearing this, the men became even more afraid and said to him,“ What have you done?”( The men said this because they knew that he was trying to escape from the LORD, because he had previously told them.)Because the storm was growing worse and worse, they said to him,“ What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”He said to them,“ Pick me up and throw me into the sea to make the sea quiet down, because I know it’s my fault you are in this severe storm.”Instead, they tried to row back to land, but they were not able to do so because the storm kept growing worse and worse.So they cried out to the LORD,“ Oh, please, LORD, don’t let us die on account of this man! Don’t hold us guilty of shedding innocent blood. After all, you, LORD, have done just as you pleased.”So they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped raging.The men feared the LORD greatly, and earnestly vowed to offer lavish sacrifices to the Lord.( 2: 1) The LORD sent a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.

But I replied,“ Should a man like me run away? Would someone like me flee to the temple in order to save his life? I will not go!”I recognized the fact that God had not sent him, for he had spoken the prophecy against me as a hired agent of Tobiah and Sanballat.He had been hired to scare me so that I would do this and thereby sin.

David thought to himself,“ One of these days I’m going to be swept away by the hand of Saul! There is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of searching for me through all the territory of Israel and I will escape from his hand.”So David left and crossed over to King Achish son of Maoch of Gath accompanied by his six hundred men.David settled with Achish in Gath, along with his men and their families. David had with him his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the Carmelite, Nabal’s widow.When Saul learned that David had fled to Gath, he did not mount a new search for him.David said to Achish,“ If I have found favor with you, let me be given a place in one of the country towns so that I can live there. Why should your servant settle in the royal city with you?”So Achish gave him Ziklag on that day.( For that reason Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah until this very day.)The length of time that David lived in the Philistine countryside was a year and four months.Then David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites.( They had been living in that land for a long time, from the approach to Shur as far as the land of Egypt.)When David would attack a district, he would leave neither man nor woman alive. He would take sheep, cattle, donkeys, camels, and clothing and would then go back to Achish.When Achish would ask,“ Where did you raid today?” David would say,“ The Negev of Judah” or“ The Negev of Jeharmeel” or“ The Negev of the Kenites.”Neither man nor woman would David leave alive so as to bring them back to Gath. He was thinking,“ This way they can’t tell on us, saying,‘ This is what David did.’” Such was his practice the entire time that he lived in the country of the Philistines.So Achish trusted David, thinking to himself,“ He is really hated among his own people in Israel! From now on he will be my servant.”
