1 Samuel 29

1Now the Philistines^H6430 gathered together^H6908 all their hosts^H4264 to Aphek^H663: and the Israelites^H3478 encamped^H2583 by the fountain^H5869 which is in Jezreel^H3157. 2And the lords^H5633 of the Philistines^H6430 passed on^H5674 by hundreds^H3967, and by thousands^H505; and David^H1732 and his men^H582 passed on^H5674 in the rearward^H314 with Achish^H397. 3Then said^H559 the princes^H8269 of the Philistines^H6430, What do these Hebrews^H5680 here? And Achish^H397 said^H559 unto the princes^H8269 of the Philistines^H6430, Is not this David^H1732, the servant^H5650 of Saul^H7586 the king^H4428 of Israel^H3478, who hath been with me these days^H3117, or rather these years^H8141, and I have found^H4672 no fault^H3972 in him since^H3117 he fell^H5307 away unto me unto this day^H3117? 4But he princes^H8269 of the Philistines^H6430 were wroth^H7107 with him; and the princes^H8269 of the Philistines^H6430 said^H559 unto him, Make^H7725 the man^H376 return^H7725, that he may go back^H7725 to his place^H4725 where thou hast appointed^H6485 him, and let him not go down^H3381 with us to battle^H4421, lest in the battle^H4421 he become an adversary^H7854 to us: for wherewith should this fellow reconcile^H7521 himself unto his lord^H113? should it not be with the heads^H7218 of these men^H582? 5Is not this David^H1732, of whom they sang^H6030 one to another in dances^H4246, saying^H559, Saul^H7586 hath slain^H5221 his thousands^H505, And David^H1732 his ten thousands^H505? 6Then Achish^H397 called^H7121 David^H1732, and said^H559 unto him, As Jehovah^H3068 liveth^H2416, thou hast been upright^H3477, and thy going out^H3318 and thy coming in^H935 with me in the host^H4264 is good^H2896 in my sight^H5869; for I have not found^H4672 evil^H7451 in thee since the day^H3117 of thy coming^H935 unto me unto this day^H3117: nevertheless the lords^H5633 favor^H2896 thee not^H5869. 7Wherefore now return^H7725, and go^H3212 in peace^H7965, that thou displease^H7451 not the lords^H5633 of the Philistines^H6430. 8And David^H1732 said^H559 unto Achish^H397, But what have I done^H6213? and what hast thou found^H4672 in thy servant^H5650 so long as^H3117 I have been before thee^H6440 unto this day^H3117, that I may not go^H935 and fight^H3898 against the enemies^H341 of my lord^H113 the king^H4428? 9And Achish^H397 answered^H6030 and said^H559 to David^H1732, I know^H3045 that thou art good^H2896 in my sight^H5869, as an angel^H4397 of God^H430: notwithstanding the princes^H8269 of the Philistines^H6430 have said^H559, He shall not go up^H5927 with us to the battle^H4421. 10Wherefore now rise up early^H7925 in the morning^H1242 with the servants^H5650 of thy lord^H113 that are come^H935 with thee; and as soon as ye are up early^H7925 in the morning^H1242, and have light^H215, depart^H3212. 11So David^H1732 rose up early^H7925, he and his men^H582, to depart^H3212 in the morning^H1242, to return^H7725 into the land^H776 of the Philistines^H6430. And the Philistines^H6430 went up^H5927 to Jezreel^H3157.
