1 SAMUEL 27:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.”
And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months — the temporal notation ('ûmispar hayyāmîm ʾašer yāšab dāwīd beśdē-pᵉlišt tim yōm vᵉʾarbʿāh ḥodāšîm') marks a significant period of David's life spent in foreign territory. The duration is substantial enough to suggest a genuine integration into Philistine society, yet temporary enough to preserve his ultimate return.
