⁴ And the king said to them, I will do whatever seems best to you. So the king took his place by the door of the town, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.

²⁴ Now David was seated between the two town doors; and the watchman went up to the roof of the doorways, on the wall, and, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running by himself.

² And the lords of the Philistines went on with their hundreds and their thousands, and David and his men came after with Achish.

¹ And David had the people who were with him numbered, and he put over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.

⁶ And a spirit of wisdom to the judge, and strength to those who keep back the attackers at the door of the town.
