And the satraps of the Philistines said, Who are these that pass through? And Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with us these two years, and I have not found in him anything from the day he fell to me until this day?
And the commanders of the Philistines were grieved because of him, and they say to him, Send back the man to his place, where you stationed him there, and let him not come with us into the war, and let him not become a plotter against the camp; and by what will this one be reconciled to his lord? Is it not by the heads of those men?
And Achish called David and said to him, As the Lord lives, that you are upright and good in my eyes, and your going out and your coming in with me in the camp, and that I have not found evil against you from the day you came to me until this day, and in the eyes of the satraps you are not good.
And David said to Achish, What have I done to you, and what have you found in your servant from the day when I was before you and until this day, that I should not go to fight the enemies of my lord the king?
And now rise early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who have come with you, and go to the place where I have stationed you there; and do not put a harmful matter in your heart, for you are good in my eyes; and rise early on the way, and let it be light for you, and go.
