Names of God Bible
4 But the Philistine officers were angry with Achish. “Send the man back,” the Philistine officers told him. “Return him to the place you assigned him. He shouldn’t go with us into battle. He shouldn’t be allowed to become our enemy during the battle. Is this man going to try to regain his master’s favor? He’ll do it with the lives of our men! 5 Isn’t this David of whom people sing in dances:
‘Saul has defeated thousands
but David tens of thousands’?”
6 Then Achish called David and told him, “I solemnly swear, as Yahweh lives, you are a dependable man. I consider your campaigning with me a good thing, because I’ve never found anything wrong with you from the day you came to me until now. But the rulers don’t approve of you.

1 Samuel 29:4-6
New International Version
4 But the Philistine commanders were angry with Achish and said, “Send(A) the man back, that he may return to the place you assigned him. He must not go with us into battle, or he will turn(B) against us during the fighting. How better could he regain his master’s favor than by taking the heads of our own men? 5 Isn’t this the David they sang about in their dances:
“‘Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his tens of thousands’?”(C)
6 So Achish called David and said to him, “As surely as the Lord lives, you have been reliable, and I would be pleased to have you serve with me in the army. From the day(D) you came to me until today, I have found no fault in you, but the rulers(E) don’t approve of you.
