Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Samuel 27:11:

• Kupsabiny: “David would kill all the people so that no witness would be left who could go and tell in Gath what he and his people had done. David used to do like this all the days he lived in the country of the Philistines.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “David did not bring any living man or woman to Gath because he thought [that] if he allowed any person to live, he/she would be able to tell Achish what he had been doing. This was his habit as long as he stayed with the Philistines.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “David and-company completely killed all men/males and women/females so-that no one could-go to Gat to-tell what he had- really -done. This is what David always did while he was-living/staying there in the territory of the Filistinhon.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “David’s men never brought back to Gath any man or woman who was left alive. David thought, ‘If we do not kill everyone, some of them who are still alive will go and tell Achish the truth about what we really did.’ David did that all the time that he and his men lived in the Philistia area.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
