*
And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds me #
ah #,
and by thousands :
but David and his men passed on in the rereward with Achish .
*
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 Yisra #
el #,
which hath been with me these days ,
or these years ,
and I have found no fault in himsince he fell unto me unto this day ?
*
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 ?
*
Is not this David ,
of whom they sang one to another in dances ,
saying ,
Saul slew his thousands ,
and David his ten thousands ?
*
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 #
ra #
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 masters 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 Yizr @#
