1 Samuel 29:1
|
|
Now the Philistines gathered together all their
armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 29:2 |
|
And the lords of the Philistines passed on by
hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward 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, which hath been with me
these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto
me unto this day? |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 29:4 |
|
And the princes of the Philistines were wroth
with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return,
that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not
go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith
should he reconcile himself unto his master? 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 slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands? |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 29:6 |
|
Then Achish called David, and said unto him,
Surely, as the LORD 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
favour 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 with thee
unto this day, that I may not go 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
thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in
the morning, and have light, depart. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 29:11 |
|
So David and his men rose up early to depart
in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines
went up to Jezreel. |
