- 1 Samuel 27
  
  1 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 escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel. So shall I escape out of his hand."
  
  2 David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
  
  3 David lived 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 It was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
  
  5 David said to Achish, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?"
  
  6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: why Ziklag pertains to the kings of Judah to this day.
  
  7 The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
  
  8 David and his men went up, and made a raid on the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, as you go to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.
  
  9 David struck the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the cattle, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the clothing; and he returned, and came to Achish.
  
  10 Achish said, "Against whom have you made a raid today?" David said, "Against the South of Judah, against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites."
  
  11 David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying, "Lest they should tell of us, saying, 'David this, and this has been his way all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.'"
  
  12 Achish believed David, saying, "He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he shall be my servant forever."
  
  Ezéchiel 6
  
  1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
  
  2 Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,
  
  3 and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.
  
  4 Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
  
  5 I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
  
  6 In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
  
  7 The slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
  
  8 Yet will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.
  
  9 Those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
  
  10 They shall know that I am Yahweh: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.
  
  11 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
  
  12 He who is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he who is near shall fall by the sword; and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath on them.
  
  13 You shall know that I am Yahweh, when their slain men shall be among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their idols.
  
  14 I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
  
  1 Corinthiens 8
  
  1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
  
  2 But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn't yet know as he ought to know.
  
  3 But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.
  
  4 Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
  
  5 For though there are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords";
  
  6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
  
  7 However, that knowledge isn't in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
  
  8 But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don't eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
  
  9 But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
  
  10 For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol's temple, won't his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
  
  11 And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.
  
  12 Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.
  
  13 Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I don't cause my brother to stumble.
