Context
29:6 So Achish summoned David and said to him, “As surely as the Lord lives , you are an honest man, and I am glad to have you serving with me in the army . I have found no fault with you from the day that you first came to me until the present time . But in the opinion of the leaders , you are not reliable .
29:7 So turn and leave in peace . You must not do anything that the leaders of the Philistines consider improper !”
29:8 But David said to Achish , “What have I done ? What have you found in your servant from the day that I first came into your presence until the present time , that I shouldn’t go and fight the enemies of my lord the king ?”
29:9 Achish replied to David , “I am convinced that you are as reliable as the angel of God ! However , the leaders of the Philistines have said , ‘He must not go up with us in the battle .’
29:10 So get up early in the morning along with the servants of your lord who have come with you. When you get up early in the morning , as soon as it is light enough to see, leave .”
29:11 So David and his men got up early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines , but the Philistines went up to Jezreel .
