Achish Sends David Home
6 Then Achish summoned David and told him, “As surely as the Lord lives, you are trustworthy,[a] and it seems good to me for you to campaign[b] with me as part of the army. Indeed, I’ve not found any evil in you from the time you came to me until now.[c] But the leaders don’t approve of you. 7 Now return and go in peace, so you do nothing to displease the Philistine leaders.”
8 David told Achish, “What have I done, and what have you found in your servant from the time I came before you until this very moment,[d] that I shouldn’t go out and fight the enemies of your majesty?”[e]
