King James Version
And
the Philistines gather
all their camps
to Aphek ,
and the Israelites are
encamping
at
a fountain which `
is '
in Jezreel ,
Now
the Philistines gathered
together
all their armies
to Aphek :
and the Israelites pitched
by
a fountain which is in Jezreel .
and the princes
of the Philistines are
passing
on by hundreds, and by thousands ,
and
David and his men are
passing
on in the rear
with Achish.
And the lords
of the Philistines passed
on by hundreds, and by thousands :
but
David and his men passed
on in the rearward
with Achish.
And
the heads
of the Philistines say
, `
What `are'
these Hebrews? '
and Achish saith
unto the heads
of the Philistines, `
Is not this David servant of Saul king of Israel, who
hath been with me these days or these years, and I have not
found in him anything
`wrong'
from
the
day
of
his
falling
away
till
this day .'
Then
said
the princes
of the Philistines, What do
these Hebrews here
? And Achish said
unto the princes
of the Philistines, Is not this David ,
the
servant of Saul the
king of Israel, which
hath been with me these days ,
or these years, and I have found no
fault
in him since
he
fell
unto
me
unto
this day ?
And the heads
of the Philistines are
wroth against
him ,
and the heads
of the Philistines say
to
him, `Send
back
the
man
, and
he doth
turn
back
unto
his place whither
thou hast appointed him, and doth
not go down with us into
battle, and
is
not
to us for an
adversary
in
battle;
and
wherewith doth
this
one
reconcile himself unto his lord
--
is
it not with the heads of those
men? '
And the princes
of the Philistines were
wroth with
him ;
and the princes
of the Philistines said
unto
him, Make
this
fellow
return
, that
he may
go
again
to
his place which
thou hast appointed him, and let
him
not go down with us to
battle, lest
in
the
battle
he
be
an
adversary
to us :
for wherewith should
he
reconcile himself unto his master?
should
it not be
with the heads of these
men?
Is not this David, of whom they answer
in choruses
, saying, Saul hath
smitten
among
his thousands, and David among
his myriads
? '
Is not this David, of whom they sang
one
to
another
in dances
, saying, Saul slew
his thousands, and David his ten
thousands
?
And
Achish calleth
unto
David, and saith
unto him, `Jehovah
liveth, surely
thou `art'
upright, and good
in
mine
eyes
is
thy going out ,
and thy coming in ,
with me in the camp,
for I have not found in thee evil
from
the day of thy coming in
unto me till
this day ;
and
in
the
eyes
of
the princes
thou
art
not good;
Then
Achish called
David, and said
unto him, Surely,
as
the
LORD
liveth, thou hast
been
upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host
is
good
in
my
sight:
for I have not found evil
in thee since
the day of thy coming unto me unto
this day :
nevertheless
the lords
favor
thee
not .
and
now ,
turn
back
, and go in peace, and
thou dost
do
no
evil
in
the
eyes
of
the princes
of the Philistines. '
Wherefore
now return
, and go in peace, that
thou displease
not
the lords
of the Philistines.
And David saith
unto Achish, `
But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from
the
day
that
I have been before
thee till
this day --
that I go
not in
and
have
fought
against the enemies of my lord the king? '
And David said
unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so
long
as
I have been with
thee unto
this day ,
that I may
not go
fight
against the enemies of my lord the king?
And Achish answereth
and saith
unto
David, `
I have
known
that thou `
art '
good in mine
eyes
as a
messenger
of God ;
only,
the princes of the Philistines have said, He doth
not go up with us into
battle ;
And Achish answered
and said
to
David, I know
that thou art 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 .
and
now ,
rise thou
early in the morning ,
and
the
servants
of
thy lord
who
have
come with thee ,
when
ye have
risen
early in the morning, and have light, then
go
ye
. '
Wherefore
now rise up
early in the morning with
thy master's
servants
that
are
come with thee :
and
as
soon
as
ye be
up
early in the morning, and have light, depart
.
And
David riseth
early,
he
and his men ,
to go
in the morning, to turn
back
unto
the land of the Philistines ,
and the Philistines have
gone
up to Jezreel.
So
David and his men rose
up
early
to depart
in the morning, to return
into
the land of the Philistines .
And the Philistines went
up to Jezreel.
