29Now the Philistines gathered all their forces at Aphek, while the Israelites were encamped by the fountain that is in Jezreel.H6430H6908H4264H663H3478H2583H5869H31572As the lords of the Philistines were passing on by hundreds and by thousands, and David and his men were passing on in the rear with Achish,H5633H6430H5674H3967H505H1732H582H5674H314H3973the commanders of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, "Is this not David, the servant of King Saul of Israel, who has been with me now for days and years? Since he deserted to me I have found no fault in him to this day."H559H8269H6430H5680H397H559H8269H6430H1732H5650H7586H4428H3478H3117H8141H4672H3972H3117H5307H31174But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him; and the commanders of the Philistines said to him, "Send the man back, so that he may return to the place that you have assigned to him; he shall not go down with us to battle, or else he may become an adversary to us in the battle. For how could this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of the men here?H8269H6430H7107H8269H6430H559H7725H376H7725H7725H4725H6485H3381H4421H4421H7854H7521H113H7218H5825Is this not David, of whom they sing to one another in dances, 'Saul has killed his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?"H1732H6030H4246H559H7586H5221H505H1732H72336Then Achish called David and said to him, "As the LORD lives, you have been honest, and to me it seems right that you 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 until today. Nevertheless the lords do not approve of you.H397H7121H1732H559H3068H2416H3477H3318H935H4264H2896H5869H4672H7451H3117H935H3117H5633H2896H58697So go back now; and go peaceably; do nothing to displease the lords of the Philistines."H7725H3212H7965H6213H7451H5869H5633H64308David 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 should not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"H1732H559H397H6213H4672H5650H3117H6440H3117H935H3898H341H113H44289Achish replied to David, "I know that you are as blameless in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless, the commanders of the Philistines have said, 'He shall not go up with us to the battle.'H397H6030H559H1732H3045H2896H5869H4397H430H8269H6430H559H5927H442110Now then rise early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who came with you, and go to the place that I appointed for you. As for the evil report, do not take it to heart, for you have done well before me. Start early in the morning, and leave as soon as you have light."H7925H1242H113H5650H935H7925H1242H215H321211So David set out with his men early in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to Jezreel.H1732H582H7925H3212H1242H7725H776H6430H6430H5927H3157
