1 Samuel 29:5-7
Revised Standard Version
5 Is not this David, of whom they sing to one another in dances,
‘Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his ten thousands’?”
6 Then A′chish called David and said to him, “As the Lord lives, you have been honest, and to me it seems right that you should march out and in with me in the campaign; for I have found nothing wrong in you from the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless the lords do not approve of you. 7 So go back now; and go peaceably, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines.”
