1 Samuel 29:1-11

29:1

Now the Philistines
<06430>

gathered together
<06908> (8799)

all their armies
<04264>

to Aphek
<0663>_:

and the Israelites
<03478>

pitched
<02583> (8802)

by a fountain
<05869>

which [is] in Jezreel
<03157>_.

29:2

And the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>

passed on
<05674> (8802)

by hundreds
<03967>_,

and by thousands
<0505>_:

but David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

passed on
<05674> (8802)

in the rereward
<0314>

with Achish
<0397>_.

29:3

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

What [do] these Hebrews
<05680>

[here]? And Achish
<0397>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

[Is] not this David
<01732>_,

the servant
<05650>

of Saul
<07586>

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which hath been with me these days
<03117>_,

or these years
<08141>_,

and I have found
<04672> (8804)

no fault
<03972>

in him since
<03117>

he fell
<05307> (8800)

[unto me] unto this day
<03117>_?

29:4

And the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>

were wroth
<07107> (8799)

with him; and the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Make
<07725> (0)

this fellow
<0376>

return
<07725> (8685)_,

that he may go again
<07725> (8799)

to his place
<04725>

which thou hast appointed
<06485> (8689)

him, and let him not go down
<03381> (8799)

with us to battle
<04421>_,

lest in the battle
<04421>

he be an adversary
<07854>

to us: for wherewith should he reconcile
<07521> (8691)

himself unto his master
<0113>_?

[should it] not [be] with the heads
<07218>

of these men
<0582>_?

29:5

[Is] not this David
<01732>_,

of whom they sang
<06030> (8799)

one to another in dances
<04246>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Saul
<07586>

slew
<05221> (8689)

his thousands
<0505>_,

and David
<01732>

his ten thousands
<07233>_?

29:6

Then Achish
<0397>

called
<07121> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Surely, [as] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

thou hast been upright
<03477>_,

and thy going out
<03318> (8800)

and thy coming in
<0935> (8800)

with me in the host
<04264>

[is] good
<02896>

in my sight
<05869>_:

for I have not found
<04672> (8804)

evil
<07451>

in thee since the day
<03117>

of thy coming
<0935> (8800)

unto me unto this day
<03117>_:

nevertheless the lords
<05633>

favour
<02896>

thee not
<05869>_.

{the lords...: Heb. thou art not good in the eyes of the lords}

29:7

Wherefore now return
<07725> (8798)_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

in peace
<07965>_,

that thou displease
<06213> (8799) <07451> <05869>

not the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

{displease...: Heb. do not evil in the eyes of the lords}

29:8

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Achish
<0397>_,

But what have I done
<06213> (8804)_?

and what hast thou found
<04672> (8804)

in thy servant
<05650>

so long as
<03117>

I have been with thee
<06440>

unto this day
<03117>_,

that I may not go
<0935> (8799)

fight
<03898> (8738)

against the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_?

{with...: Heb. before thee}

29:9

And Achish
<0397>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou [art] good
<02896>

in my sight
<05869>_,

as an angel
<04397>

of God
<0430>_:

notwithstanding the princes
<08269>

of the Philistines
<06430>

have said
<0559> (8804)_,

He shall not go up
<05927> (8799)

with us to the battle
<04421>_.

29:10

Wherefore now rise up early
<07925> (8685)

in the morning
<01242>

with thy master's
<0113>

servants
<05650>

that are come
<0935> (8804)

with thee: and as soon as ye be up early
<07925> (8689)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and have light
<0215> (8804)_,

depart
<03212> (8798)_.

29:11

So David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

to depart
<03212> (8800)

in the morning
<01242>_,

to return
<07725> (8800)

into the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

And the Philistines
<06430>

went up
<05927> (8804)

to Jezreel
<03157>_.
