1 Samuel 29:1-5

1And the PhilistinesH6430 gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 all their armiesH4264 to AphekH663; and IsraelH3478 encampedH2583 by the springH5869 that is in Jizreel.

2And the lords of the PhilistinesH6430 passedH5674 on by hundredsH3967 and by thousandsH505; and DavidH1732 and his menH376 passedH5674 on in the rearward with AchishH397.

3And the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, What are these HebrewsH5680? And AchishH397 saidH559 to the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430, Is not this DavidH1732, the servantH5650 of SaulH7586 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who has beenH1961 with me these daysH3117, or these yearsH8141, and I have foundH4672 nothing in him since the dayH3117 of his fallingH5307 away [to me] to this dayH3117?

4But the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 were wroth with him; and the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559 to him, Make the manH376 returnH7725, that he may goH3381 again to his placeH4725 whereH834 thou hast appointedH6485 him, that he goH3381 not downH3381 with us to the battleH4421, that in the battleH4421 he beH1961 not an adversaryH7854 to us; for wherewith should this [fellow] reconcile himself to his masterH113? should it not beH1961 with the headsH7218 of these menH376?

5Is not this DavidH1732, of whom they sang oneH2088 to another in dances, sayingH559, SaulH7586 smote his thousandsH505, and DavidH1732 his tenH7233 thousandsH505?
