1 Samuel 29:2-5 ▼

2 The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.

3 Then the leaders of the Philistines said, |What about these Hebrews?| And Achish said to the leaders of the Philistines, |Isn't this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he defected to me until this day?|

4 But the leaders of the Philistines were angry with him, and said to him, |Send that man back to the place where you have assigned him, and he must not go down with us to battle, or in the battle he may become an adversary. For how could this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with the heads of these men?

5 Is not this David about whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?'|
