World English Bible Classic
[1] Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek; and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is in Jezreel. [2] The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish. [3] Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What about these Hebrews?”Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, “Isn’t this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years? I have found no fault in him since he fell away until today.” [4] But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, “Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For with what should this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with the heads of these men? [5] Isn’t this David, of whom people sang to one another in dances, saying,
‘Saul has slain his thousands,
and David his ten thousands’?”
[6] Then Achish called David and said to him, “As Yahweh lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords don’t favor you. [7] Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines.” [8] David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?” [9] Achish answered David, “I know that you are good in my sight, as an angel of God. Notwithstanding, the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’ [10] Therefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of your lord who have come with you; and as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart.” [11] So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines; and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

And AchishH397 saidH559(QalImpf) unto the princesH8269 of the Philistines,H6430 [Is] not this David,H1732 the servantH5650 of SaulH7586 the kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 which hath been with me these days,H3117 or these years,H8141 and I have foundH4672(QalPerf) no faultH3972 in him sinceH3117 he fellH5307(QalInf) [unto me] unto this day?H3117 [4] And the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 were wrothH7107(QalImpf) with him; and the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559(QalImpf) unto him, MakeH7725 this fellowH376 return,H7725(HiphImpv) that he may go againH7725(QalImpf) to his placeH4725 which thou hast appointedH6485(HiphPerf) him, and let him not go downH3381(QalImpf) with us to battle,H4421 lest in the battleH4421 he be an adversaryH7854 to us: for wherewith should he reconcileH7521(HithImpf) himself unto his master?H113 [should it] not [be] with the headsH7218 of these men?H582 [5] [Is] not this David,H1732 of whom they sangH6030(QalImpf) one to another in dances,H4246 saying,H559(QalInf) SaulH7586 slewH5221(HiphPerf) his thousands,H505 and DavidH1732 his ten thousands?H7233 [6] Then AchishH397 calledH7121(QalImpf) David,H1732 and saidH559(QalImpf) unto him, Surely, [as] the LordH3068 liveth,H2416 thou hast been upright,H3477 and thy going outH3318(QalInf) and thy coming inH935(QalInf) with me in the hostH4264 [is] goodH2896 in my sight:H5869 for I have not foundH4672(QalPerf) evilH7451 in thee since the dayH3117 of thy comingH935(QalInf) unto me unto this day:H3117 nevertheless the lordsH5633 favourH2896 thee not.H5869 [7] Wherefore now return,H7725(QalImpv) and goH3212(QalImpv) in peace,H7965 that thou displeaseH6213(QalImpf) not the lordsH5633 of the Philistines.H6430 [8] And DavidH1732 saidH559(QalImpf) unto Achish,H397 But what have I done?H6213(QalPerf) and what hast thou foundH4672(QalPerf) in thy servantH5650 so long asH3117 I have been with theeH6440 unto this day,H3117 that I may not goH935(QalImpf) fightH3898(NiphPerf) against the enemiesH341(QalActPtc) of my lordH113 the king?H4428 [9] And AchishH397 answeredH6030(QalImpf) and saidH559(QalImpf) to David,H1732 I knowH3045(QalPerf) that thou [art] goodH2896 in my sight,H5869 as an angelH4397 of God:H430 notwithstanding the princesH8269 of the PhilistinesH6430 have said,H559(QalPerf) He shall not go upH5927(QalImpf) with us to the battle.H4421 [10] Wherefore now rise up earlyH7925(HiphImpv) in the morningH1242 with thy master’sH113 servantsH5650 that are comeH935(QalPerf) with thee: and as soon as ye be up earlyH7925(HiphPerf) in the morning,H1242 and have light,H215(QalPerf) depart.H3212(QalImpv) [11] So DavidH1732 and his menH582 rose up earlyH7925(HiphImpf) to departH3212(QalInf) in the morning,H1242 to returnH7725(QalInf) into the landH776 of the Philistines.H6430 And the PhilistinesH6430 went upH5927(QalPerf) to Jezreel.H3157
