1 Samuel 29:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ Then Achish called David and said to him, “As the Lord lives, you have indeed been honest, and ^(A)your ^[a]going out and your coming in with me in the army are pleasing in my sight; ^(B)for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, you are not pleasing in the sight of the governors. ⁷ Now then, return and go in peace, so that you will not do anything wrong in the sight of the governors of the Philistines.” ⁸ However, David said to Achish, “^(C)But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant since the day that I came before you, to this day, that I cannot go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
