1 Samuel 29:7-9
New King James Version
7 Therefore return now, and go in peace, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines.”
8 So David said to Achish, “But what have I done? And to this day what have you found in your servant as long as I have been with you, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
9 Then Achish answered and said to David, “I know that you are as good in my sight (A)as an angel of God; nevertheless (B)the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’
