1 Samuel 29:4-6
The Voice
Philistine Generals (angry): 4 Send David back to the place you have appointed for him. Don’t let him go into battle with us—we might find him an enemy instead of an ally. Do you know how he could be reconciled with his former master? By handing him our heads!
5 Isn’t this the same David about whom the Israelites sang war songs while they danced and celebrated?
Saul has slain his thousands
and David, his tens of thousands.
Achish (calling to David): 6 As the Eternal One lives, you have been honest with me, and I wish you could march into battle and back at my side. I have found no fault in you before. But the generals—the leaders of my troops—will not have you go with us.
