*
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 .
*
Wherefore now return ,
and go in peace ,
that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
