1 Samuel 29:8-10

Christian Standard Bible

⁸ “But what have I done?” ^(A) David replied to Achish. “From the first day I entered your service until today, what have you found against your servant to keep me from going to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”

⁹ Achish answered David, “I’m convinced that you are as reliable as an angel of God.^(B) But the Philistine commanders have said, ‘He must not go into battle with us.’^{(C) 10} So get up early in the morning, you and your masters’ servants who came with you.^[a](D) When you’ve all gotten up early, go as soon as it’s light.”
