1 Samuel 29:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Return therefore, and go in peace, and offend not the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.

⁸ And David said to Achis: But what have I done, and what hast thou found in me thy servant, from the day that I have been in thy sight until this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?

⁹ And Achis answering said to David: I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: but the princes of the Philistines have said: He shall not go up with us to the battle.
