And Achis said to the princes of the Philistines : Do you not know David , who was the servant of Saul the king of Israel , and hath been with me many days , or years , and I have found no fault in him , since the day that he fled over to me until this day ? drb @1Samuel:29:4 @But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him , and they said to him : Let this man return , and abide in his place , which thou hast appointed him , and let him not go down with us to battle , lest he be an adversary to us , when we shall begin to fight : for how can he otherwise appease his master , but with our heads ? drb @1Samuel:29:5 @Is not this David , to whom they sung in their dances , saying : Saul slew his thousands , and David his ten thousands ? drb @1Samuel:29:6 @Then Achis called David , and said to him : As the Lord liveth , thou art upright and good in my sight : and so is thy going out , and thy coming in with me in the army : and I have not found my evil in thee , since the day that thou camest to me unto this day : but thou pleasest not the lords . drb @1Samuel:29:7 @Return therefore , and go in peace , and offend not the eyes of the princes of the Philistines . drb @1Samuel:29:8 @And David said to Achis : But what have I done , and what hast thou found in me thy servant , from the day that I have been in thy sight until this day , that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king ? drb @1Samuel:29:9 @And Achis answering said to David : I know that thou art good in my sight , as an angel of God : but the princes of the Philistines have said : He shall not go up with us to the battle . drb @1Samuel:29:10 @Therefore arise in the morning , thou , and the servants of thy lord , who came with thee : and when you are up before day , and it shall begin to be light , go on your way . drb @1Samuel:29:11 @So David and his men arose in the night , that they might set forward in the morning , and returned to the land of the Philistines : and the Philistines went up to Jezrahel .
