1 Samuel 29:6-8
The Voice
Achish (calling to David): 6 As the Eternal One lives, you have been honest with me, and I wish you could march into battle and back at my side. I have found no fault in you before. But the generals—the leaders of my troops—will not have you go with us. 7 Go home now, and go in peace. Don’t do anything to upset them further.
This decision is certainly in David’s favor—could he really have gone to battle against Israel?—but he acts as though he is offended.
David: 8 What have I done to deserve this? Has your servant done anything since he entered your service to prevent him going out and fighting against my lord the king’s enemies?
