Now the Philistines
gathered together
all their armies
to Aphek:
and the Israelites
pitched
by a fountain
which is in Jezreel.
And the lords
of the Philistines
passed on
by hundreds,
and by thousands:
but David
and his men
passed on
in the rereward
with Achish.

Then said
the princes
of the Philistines,
What do these Hebrews
here? And Achish
said
unto the princes
of the Philistines,
Is not this David,
the servant
of Saul
the king
of Israel,
which hath been with me these days,
or these years,
and I have found
no fault
in him since
he fell
unto me unto this day?

And the princes
of the Philistines
were wroth
with him; and the princes
of the Philistines
said
unto him, Make
this fellow
return,
that he may go again
to his place
which thou hast appointed
him, and let him not go down
with us to battle,
lest in the battle
he be an adversary
to us: for wherewith should he reconcile
himself unto his master?
should it not be with the heads
of these men?

Is not this David,
of whom they sang
one to another in dances,
saying,
Saul
slew
his thousands,
and David
his ten thousands?
Then Achish
called
David,
and said
unto him, Surely, as the LORD
liveth,
thou hast been upright,
and thy going out
and thy coming in
with me in the host
is good
in my sight:
for I have not found
evil
in thee since the day
of thy coming
unto me unto this day:
nevertheless the lords
favour
thee not.

Wherefore now return,
and go
in peace,
that thou displease
not the lords
of the Philistines.
And David
said
unto Achish,
But what have I done?
and what hast thou found
in thy servant
so long as
I have been with thee
unto this day,
that I may not go
fight
against the enemies
of my lord
the king?

And Achish
answered
and said
to David,
I know
that thou art good
in my sight,
as an angel
of God:
notwithstanding the princes
of the Philistines
have said,
He shall not go up
with us to the battle.

Wherefore now rise up early
in the morning
with thy master's
servants
that are come
with thee: and as soon as ye be up early
in the morning,
and have light,
depart.
So David
and his men
rose up early
to depart
in the morning,
to return
into the land
of the Philistines.
And the Philistines
went up
to Jezreel.
