I Samuel 27:2

And David arose, and went away, both he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achis, the son of Maoch, king of Geth.

Maoch, or Maacha, 3 Kings 2:29. This king had perhaps seen David, when he counterfeited madness. But now he was convinced that, by granting him protection, he would greatly annoy Saul, and draw many brave men out of his dominions.
