1 Samuel 29:1-3

New Catholic Bible

Chapter 29

The Philistines Reject David. ¹ The Philistines gathered all of their forces together at Aphek. The Israelites camped by the spring in Jezreel. ² The lords of the Philistines were marching along with their units of hundreds and thousands while David and his men were marching at the rear with Achish.

³ The lords of the Philistines said, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied to the lords of the Philistines, “Is this not David, a servant of Saul, the king of the Israel? He has been with me these days, these years. I have found no fault in him since he came to me up until the present.”
