1
Now the Philistines
gathered
together all
their armies
to Aphek,
while the Israelites
were camping
by the spring
which
is in Jezreel.
2
And the lords
of the Philistines
were proceeding
on by hundreds
and by thousands,
and David
and his men
were proceeding
on in the rear
with Achish.
3
Then the commanders
of the Philistines
said
,
"What
are these
Hebrews
doing here?" And Achish
said
to the commanders
of the Philistines
,
"Is this
not David,
the servant
of Saul
the king
of Israel,
who
has been
with me these
days,
or
rather these
years,
and I have found
no
fault
in him from the day
he deserted
to me to this
day?"
4
But the commanders
of the Philistines
were angry
with him, and the commanders
of the Philistines
said
to him, "Make the man
go
back, that he may return
to his place
where
you have assigned
him, and do not let him
go
down
to battle
with us, or
in the battle
he may become
an adversary
to us. For with what
could this
man make himself acceptable
to his lord?
Would it not be with the heads
of these
men?
5
"Is this
not David,
of whom
they sing
in the dances,
saying,
'Saul
has slain
his thousands,
And David
his ten thousands '?"
6
Then Achish
called
David
and said
to him, "As the LORD
lives,
you have been upright,
and your going
out and your coming
in with me in the army
are pleasing
in my sight;
for I have not found
evil
in you from the day
of your coming
to me to this
day.
Nevertheless, you are not pleasing
in the sight
of the lords.
7
"Now
therefore return
and go
in peace,
that you may not displease
the lords
of the Philistines."
8
David
said
to Achish,
"But what
have I done?
And what
have you found
in your servant
from the day
when
I came
before
you to this
day,
that I may not go
and fight
against the enemies
of my lord
the king?"
9
But Achish
replied
to David,
"I know
that you are pleasing
in my sight,
like an angel
of God;
nevertheless
the commanders
of the Philistines
have said,
'He must not go
up with us to the battle.'
10
"Now
then arise
early
in the morning
with the servants
of your lord
who
have come
with you, and as soon as you have arisen
early
in the morning
and have light,
depart."
11
So David
arose early,
he and his men,
to depart
in the morning
to return
to the land
of the Philistines.
And the Philistines
went
up to Jezreel.
