1 Samuel 29:1
|
|
Now the Philistines gathered together all their
hosts to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the fountain which is in Jezreel. |
|
|
|
1 Samuel 29:2 |
|
And the lords of the Philistines passed on by
hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rearward with
Achish. |
|
|
|
1 Samuel 29:3 |
|
Then said the princes of the Philistines, What
do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is
not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me
these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell
away unto me unto this day? |
|
|
|
1 Samuel 29:4 |
|
But he princes of the Philistines were wroth
with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make the man return,
that he may go back to his place where thou hast appointed him, and let him not
go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us: for
wherewith should this fellow reconcile himself unto his lord? should it not be
with the heads of these men? |
|
|
|
1 Samuel 29:5 |
|
Is not this David, of whom they sang one to
another in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands?
|
|
|
|
1 Samuel 29:6 |
|
Then Achish called David, and said unto him,
As Jehovah liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in
with me in the host is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in thee since
the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favor thee
not. |
|
|
|
1 Samuel 29:7 |
|
Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that
thou displease not the lords of the Philistines. |
|
|
|
1 Samuel 29:8 |
|
And David said unto Achish, But what have I
done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been before thee
unto this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the
king? |
|
|
|
1 Samuel 29:9 |
|
And Achish answered and said to David, I know
that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes
of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle. |
|
|
|
1 Samuel 29:10 |
|
Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with
the servants of thy lord that are come with thee; and as soon as ye are up early
in the morning, and have light, depart. |
|
|
|
1 Samuel 29:11 |
|
So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart
in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines
went up to Jezreel. |
