1. 1 Samuel 27:2 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Who was Achish, son of Maoch, king of Gath?

1 Samuel 27:2 (ESV)

2 So David arose and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

Though it is possible that Achish could be a title rather than a proper name,1 most commentators are convinced that it is the same individual who was mentioned previously (1 Samuel 21:10–15).
