1 Samuel 29:6–11

⁶Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, ^mas the Lord liveth, thou hast been upright, and ⁿthy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for ^oI have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless ^†ethe lords favour thee not. ⁷Wherefore now return, and ^pgo in peace, that thou ^†displease not ^ethe lords of the Philistines. ⁸And 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? ⁹And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, ^qas an angel of God: notwithstanding ^rthe princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle. ¹⁰Wherefore now rise up early in the morning ^swith thy master’s servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart. ¹¹So 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 ^tJezreel.
