1 Samuel 29:8-10

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 ¹  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. ²  When you get up early in the morning, as soon as it is light enough to see, leave.” ³ 

[29:9]  ¹ tn Heb “I know that you are good in my eyes.”

[29:10]  ¹ tc The LXX and a couple of Old Latin mss include here the following words: “and you shall go to the place that I have appointed you. Don’t place an evil thing in your heart, for you are good before me.”

[29:10]  ² tn Heb “when you get up early in the morning and you have light, go.”
