1 Samuel 29:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ Achish answered David, “I admit that in my judgment you’re as good as God’s Messenger. However, the Philistine officers said, ‘He shouldn’t go into battle with us.’ ¹⁰ Get up early in the morning with Saul’s servants who came with you, and go to the place I have assigned to you. Don’t worry about the unkind words, because I still approve of you.^[a] Get up in the morning, and leave when it’s light.”

¹¹ Early the next morning David and his men returned to Philistine territory, while the Philistines went to Jezreel.
