KJV
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.
BSB
David, however, said to himself, “One of these days now I will 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 stop searching for me all over Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.”
