6 Then Achish called David and said to him, “Surely, as the Lord lives, you have been upright, and ayour going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight. For to this day bI have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me. Nevertheless the lords do not favor you.
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 aas an angel of God; nevertheless bthe princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’
10 Now therefore, rise early in the morning with your master’s servants awho have come with you. And as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart.”
