1 Samuel 29:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Achish replied to David, “I know that you are as blameless in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless, the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’(A) 10 Now then, rise early in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who came with you, and go to the place that I appointed for you. As for the evil report, do not take it to heart, for you have done well before me.[a] Start early in the morning, and leave as soon as you have light.”(B) 11 So David set out with his men early in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
