29:1 Now
the
Philistines
had
gathered
all
their
forces
at
Aphek.
And
the
Israelites
were
encamped
by
the
spring
that
is
in
Jezreel.
29:2 As
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,
29:3 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,
king
of
Israel,
who
has
been
with
me
now
for
days
and
years,
and
since
he
deserted
to
me
I
have
found
no
fault
in
him
to
this
day."
29:4 But
the
commanders
of
the
Philistines
were
angry
with
him.
And
the
commanders
of
the
Philistines
said
to
him,
"Send
the
man
back,
that
he
may
return
to
the
place
to
which
you
have
assigned
him.
He
shall
not
go
down
with
us
to
battle,
lest
in
the
battle
he
become
an
adversary
to
us.
For
how
could
this
fellow
reconcile
himself
to
his
lord
Would
it
not
be
with
the
heads
of
the
men
here
29:5 Is
not
this
David,
of
whom
they
sing
to
one
another
in
dances,
'Saul
has
struck
down
his
thousands,
and
David
his
ten
thousands'"
29:6 Then
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
to
this
day.
Nevertheless,
the
lords
do
not
approve
of
you.
29:7 So
go
back
now;
and
go
peaceably,
that
you
may
not
displease
the
lords
of
the
Philistines."
29:8 And
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"
29:9 And
Achish
answered
David
and
said,
"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.'
29:10 Now
then
rise
early
in
the
morning
with
the
servants
of
your
lord
who
came
with
you,
and
start
early
in
the
morning,
and
depart
as
soon
as
you
have
light."
29:11 So
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.
