1 Samuel 29:4-7 ▼

4 And the princes of the Philistines were angry with him. And the princes of the Philistines said to him, “Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place that you assigned him there, and do not let him go down with us to the battle, that he become not our adversary in the battle. For by what shall this one make himself acceptable to his master, if not by the heads of those men?

5 Is not this David, whom they sang of him in the dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his myriads’?”

6 and Achish called to David and said to him, “As YHWH lives, surely you have been upright, and good in my eyes is your going out and your coming in with me in the camp. For I have not found in you evil since the day of your coming to me until this day. And in the eyes of the princes is no favor of you.

7 And now, return and go in peace, that you do not do evil in the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.”
