1 Samuel 29:2
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
As the Philistine leaders marched out their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men marched behind them with Achish.
In context
1 Now the Philistines brought all their forces together at Aphek, while Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.
2 As the Philistine leaders marched out their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men marched behind them with Achish.
3 Then the commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied, “Is this not David, the servant of King Saul of Israel? He has been with me all these days, even years, and from the day he defected until today I have found no fault in him.”
4 But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with Achish and told him, “Send that man back and let him return to the place you assigned him. He must not go down with us into battle only to become our adversary during the war. What better way for him to regain the favor of his master than with the heads of our men?
