1 Samuel 29:5-7
International Standard Version
5 Isn’t this the same[a] David about whom the maidens[b] sang when they were dancing,
‘Saul has struck down his thousands,
but David his ten thousands’?”
Achish Sends David Home
6 Then Achish summoned David and told him, “As surely as the Lord lives, you are trustworthy,[c] and it seems good to me for you to campaign[d] with me as part of the army. Indeed, I’ve not found any evil in you from the time you came to me until now.[e] But the leaders don’t approve of you. 7 Now return and go in peace, so you do nothing to displease the Philistine leaders.”
