1 Samuel 29:3-5

3Then the commandersH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 askedH559, “WhatH4100 about theseH428 HebrewsH5680?”

AchishH397H413 repliedH559, “Is thisH2088 notH3808 DavidH1732, the servantH5650 of KingH4428 SaulH7586 of IsraelH3478? HeH834 has beenH1961 with meH854 all theseH2088 daysH3117, evenH176 yearsH8141, and fromH3808 the dayH3117 he defectedH5307 until todayH5704H3117H2088 I have foundH4672 no faultH3972 in him.”

4But the commandersH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 were angryH7107 with AchishH5921 and toldH559 him, “Send that manH376 backH7725 and let him returnH7725 toH413 the placeH4725 you assignedH6485 himH8033. He must notH3808 go downH3381 with usH5973 into battleH4421 onlyH3808 to becomeH1961 our adversaryH7854 during the warH4421. What better wayH4100 for him to regain the favorH7521H2088H413 of his masterH113 thanH3808 with the headsH7218 of our menH582H1992? 5Is thisH2088 notH3808 the DavidH1732 about whomH834 they singH6030 in their dancesH4246H559:

‘SaulH7586 has slainH5221 his thousandsH505,and DavidH1732 his tens of thousandsH7233’?”
