1 Samuel 29:8-10
Christian Standard Bible
8 “But what have I done?” (A) David replied to Achish. “From the first day I entered your service until today, what have you found against your servant to keep me from going to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
9 Achish answered David, “I’m convinced that you are as reliable as an angel of God.(B) But the Philistine commanders have said, ‘He must not go into battle with us.’(C) 10 So get up early in the morning, you and your masters’ servants who came with you.[a](D) When you’ve all gotten up early, go as soon as it’s light.”

8 “But what have I done?” asked David. “What have you found against your servant from the day I came to you until now? Why can’t I go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
9 Achish answered, “I know that you have been as pleasing in my eyes as an angel(A) of God; nevertheless, the Philistine commanders(B) have said, ‘He must not go up with us into battle.’ 10 Now get up early, along with your master’s servants who have come with you, and leave(C) in the morning as soon as it is light.”
