The Philistines Mistrust David

29Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek, while the Israelites were camping by the spring which is in Jezreel.H6430H6908H4264H663H3478H2583H5869H3157 2And the lords of the Philistines were proceeding on by hundreds and by thousands, and David and his men were proceeding on in the rear with Achish.H5633H6430H5674H3967H505H1732H582H5674H314H397 3Then the commanders of the Philistines said, "What [are] these Hebrews [doing here]?" And Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, " Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or [rather] these years, and I have found no fault in him from the day he deserted [to me] to this day? "H559H8269H6430H5680H397H559H8269H6430H1732H5650H7586H4428H3478H3117H8141H4672H3972H3117H5307H3117 4But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him, and the commanders of the Philistines said to him, "Make the man go back, that he may return to his place where you have assigned him, and do not let him go down to battle with us, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For with what could this [man] make himself acceptable to his lord? [Would it] not [be] with the heads of these men?H8269H6430H7107H8269H6430H559H7725H376H7725H7725H4725H6485H3381H4421H4421H7854H7521H113H7218H582 5"Is this not David, of whom they sing in the dances, saying, ' Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"H1732H6030H4246H559H7586H5221H505H1732H7233 6Then Achish called David and said to him, "[As] the LORD lives, you [have been] upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army are pleasing in my sight; for I have not found evil in you from the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, you are not pleasing in the sight of the lords.H397H7121H1732H559H3068H2416H3477H3318H935H4264H2896H5869H4672H7451H3117H935H3117H5633H2896H5869 7"Now therefore return, and go in peace, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines."H7725H3212H7965H6213H7451H5869H5633H6430 8And David said to Achish, "But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant from the day when I came before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"H1732H559H397H6213H4672H5650H3117H6440H3117H935H3898H341H113H4428 9But Achish answered and said to David, "I know that you are pleasing in my sight, like an angel of God; nevertheless the commanders of the Philistines have said, 'He must not go up with us to the battle.'H397H6030H559H1732H3045H2896H5869H4397H430H8269H6430H559H5927H4421 10"Now then arise early in the morning with the servants of your lord who have come with you, and as soon as you have arisen early in the morning and have light, depart."H7925H1242H113H5650H935H7925H1242H215H3212 11So David arose early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.H1732H582H7925H3212H1242H7725H776H6430H6430H5927H3157
