1 Samuel 29:6-11

6Then Achish called David and said to him, “As the Lord lives, you have indeed been honest, and 1your 2going out and your coming in with me in the army are pleasing in my sight; 3for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, you are not pleasing in the sight of the governors.

7Now then, return and go in peace, so that you will not do anything wrong in the sight of the governors of the Philistines.”

8However, David said to Achish, “4But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant since the day that I came before you, to this day, that I cannot go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”

9But Achish replied to David, “I know that you are pleasing in my sight, 5like an angel of God; nevertheless 6the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He must not go up with us into the battle.’

10Now then, rise early in the morning 7with the servants of your lord who have come with you, and as soon as you have risen early in the morning and have light, leave.”

11So David got up early, he and his men, to leave in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
