1 Samuel 29:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible

Saul has killed his thousands,
but David his tens of thousands?”(C)
6 So Achish summoned David and told him, “As the Lord lives, you are an honorable man. I think it is good[a] to have you working[b] with me in the camp, because I have found no fault in you from the day you came to me until today.(D) But the leaders don’t think you are reliable.
