1 Samuel 29:6-10

6Then AchishH397 calledH7121 DavidH1732 and saidH559 to him, “As the LordH3068 livesH2416, you have indeedH3588 been honestH3477, and 1your 2goingH3318 outH3318 and your comingH935 inH935 with me in the armyH4264 are pleasingH2896 in my sightH5869; 3for I have not foundH4672 evilH7463 in you sinceH3588 the dayH3117 of your comingH935 to me to thisH2088 dayH3117. Nevertheless, you are not pleasingH2896 in the sightH5869 of the governorsH5633.

7NowH6258 then, returnH7725 and goH1980 in peaceH7965, so that you will not doH6213 anything wrongH7451 in the sightH5869 of the governorsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430.”

8However, DavidH1732 saidH559 to AchishH397, “4But whatH4100 have I doneH6213? And whatH4100 have you foundH4672 in your servantH5650 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 that I cameH1961 beforeH6440 you, to thisH2088 dayH3117, that I cannot goH935 and fightH3898 against the enemiesH340 of my lordH113 the kingH4428?”

9But AchishH397 repliedH6030 to DavidH1732, “I knowH3045 that you are pleasingH2896 in my sightH5869, 5like an angelH4397 of GodH430; neverthelessH389 6the commandersH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 have saidH559, ‘He must not goH5927 upH5927 with us into the battleH4421.’

10NowH6258 then, riseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 7with the servantsH5650 of your lordH113 whoH834 have comeH935 with you, and as soon as you have risenH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and haveH215 lightH215, leaveH1980.”
