1 At that time the Philistines had gathered their army to fight against Israel. Then Achish said to David, |You need to know that you and your men will be going with me into battle.| 2 |Very well,| David responded to Achish, |you will then know what I can do.| |Very well,| Achish told David, |I will make you my bodyguard for life.| 3 Meanwhile, Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his hometown Ramah. (Saul had rid the land of mediums and psychics.) 4 The Philistines assembled and camped in Shunem. Saul also assembled the whole Israelite army, and they camped at Gilboa. 5 When Saul looked at the Philistine army, he was very afraid-terrified. 1 Samuel 28:1-5, God's Word Translation.
