1 Samuel 29:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ Achish answered, “I know you are as pleasing to me as an angel from God. But the Philistine commanders have said, ‘David can’t go with us into battle.’ ¹⁰ Early in the morning you and your master’s servants, the Israelites, should go back. Go back to the city I gave you. Leave as soon as the sun comes up.”

¹¹ So David and his men got up early in the morning. They went back to the country of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
