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 host 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? and 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. The Philistines went up to Jezreel.

¹⁴ He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

¹⁵ "Don't touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!"

¹ The king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires.
