1 Samuel 29:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ David said to Achish, “But what have I done? As long as I have been with you, up until now, have you found anything in your servant that would explain why I am not able to go to fight against the enemies of my lord, the king?” ⁹ Achish answered David, “I consider you to be as good as an angel of God. Nevertheless, the lords of the Philistines have said, ‘He will not go up with us into battle.’ ¹⁰ Now, therefore, rise up early in the morning with your master’s servants who have come with you. Get up at daybreak and depart.”
