hered together to
Aphec: and Israel also encamped by the fountain, which is in Jezrahel.

29:2. And the lords of the Philistines marched with their hundreds and
their thousands: but David and his men were in the rear with Achis.

29:3. And the princes of the Philistines said to Achis: What mean these
Hebrews? And Achis said to the princes of the Philistines: Do you not
know David who was the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, and hath
been with me many days, or years, and I have found no fault in him,
since the day that he fled over to me until this day?

29:4. But the prices of the Philistines were angry with him, and they
said to him: Let this man return, and abide in his place, which thou
hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest he
be an adversary to us, when we shall begin to fight: for how can he
otherwise appease his master, but with our heads?

29:5. Is not this David, to whom they sung in their dances, saying: Saul
slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

29:6. Then Achis called David, and said to him: As the Lord liveth, thou
art upright and good in my sight: and so is thy going out, and thy
coming in with me in the army: and I have not found any evil in thee,
since the day that thou camest to me unto this day: but thou pleasest
not the lords.

29:7. Return therefore, and go in peace, and offend not the eyes of the
princes of the Philistines.

29:8. And David said to Achis: But what have I done, or what hast thou
found in me thy servant, from the day that I have been in thy sight

lord the king?

29:9. And Achis answering, said to David: I know that thou art good in
my sight, as an angel of God: But the princes of the Philistines have
said: He shall not go up with us to the battle.

29:10. Therefore arise in the morning, thou, and the servants of thy
lord, who came with thee: and when you are up before day, and it shall
begin to be light, go on your way.

29:11. So David and his men arose in the night, that they might set
forward in the morning, and returned to the land of the Philistines: and
the Philistines went up to Jezrahel.

The Amalecites burn Siceleg, and carry off the prey: David pursueth
after them, and recovereth all out of their hands.
