1 Kings2:39
39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath, and they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.
A King, but subject and Tributary, first to David, and then to Solomon. This might be, either that Achish who shewed so much kindness to David, 1 Sam. 27. and 28. or his Son; who in requital of this kindness was still permitted to enjoy the Title and Honour of a King, but not the full Power; whence it was, that Achish could not, or durst not keep these Servants, though they had fled to him for Protection; but suffered Shimei to take them away from his Royal City.
