1 Samuel 29:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² The Philistine kings were marching with their groups of 100 and 1,000 men. David and his men were marching at the back with Achish. ³ The Philistine commanders asked, “What are these Hebrews doing here?”

Achish told them, “This is David. He was an officer to Saul king of Israel. But he has been with me for over a year now. I have found nothing wrong in David since the time he left Saul and came to me.”

⁴ But the Philistine commanders were angry with Achish. They said, “Send David back! He must go back to the city you gave him. He can’t go with us into battle. If he’s here, we’ll have an enemy in our own camp. He would please his king by killing our own men.
