1 Samuel 29:6-11

6Then Achish called David and said to him, b“As the Lord lives, you have been honest, and to me it seems right that cyou should march out and in with me in the campaign. For I have found nothing wrong in you from the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords do not approve of you. 7So go back now; and go peaceably, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines.” 8And David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day I entered your service until now, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?” 9And Achish answered David and said, “I know that you are as blameless in my sight das an angel of God. Nevertheless, ethe commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’ 10Now then rise early in the morning fwith the servants of your lord who came with you, and start early in the morning, and depart as soon as you have light.” 11So David set out with his men early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to gJezreel.
