1 Samuel 29:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ So Achish called David to come to him. He said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, I know that I can trust you. I would like you to go with me to fight the battle. Since the first day that you came to me, I have never found anything wrong with you. But the other leaders do not trust you. ⁷ So return to your home and have peace in your mind. Do not do anything that will make the other Philistine leaders angry.’

⁸ David said to King Achish, ‘What have I done that is wrong? You say that you have found nothing wrong with me all the time that I have been with you. You are my master and king. So why should I not go with you to fight your enemies?’
