1 Samuel 29:1-6

1Now the PhilistinesH6430 gathered togetherH6908 all their armiesH4264 to AphekH663: and the IsraelitesH3478 pitchedH2583 by a fountainH5869 which is in JezreelH3157. 2And the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 passed onH5674 by hundredsH3967, and by thousandsH505: but DavidH1732 and his menH582 passed onH5674 in the rerewardH314 with AchishH397. 3Then saidH559 the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430, What do these HebrewsH5680 here? And AchishH397 saidH559 unto the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430, Is not this DavidH1732, the servantH5650 of SaulH7586 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, which hath been with me these daysH3117, or these yearsH8141, and I have foundH4672 no faultH3972 in him sinceH3117 he fellH5307 unto me unto this dayH3117? 4And the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 were wrothH7107 with him; and the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559 unto him, MakeH7725 this fellowH376 returnH7725, that he may go againH7725 to his placeH4725 which thou hast appointedH6485 him, and let him not go downH3381 with us to battleH4421, lest in the battleH4421 he be an adversaryH7854 to us: for wherewith should he reconcileH7521 himself unto his masterH113? should it not be with the headsH7218 of these menH582? 5Is not this DavidH1732, of whom they sangH6030 one to another in dancesH4246, sayingH559, SaulH7586 slewH5221 his thousandsH505, and DavidH1732 his ten thousandsH7233?

6Then AchishH397 calledH7121 DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Surely, as YhwhH3068 livethH2416, thou hast been uprightH3477, and thy going outH3318 and thy coming inH935 with me in the armyH4264 is goodH2896 in my sightH5869: for I have not foundH4672 evilH7451 in thee since the dayH3117 of thy comingH935 unto me unto this dayH3117: nevertheless the lordsH5633 favourH2896 thee notH5869.1
