1 Samuel 29:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Philistines Reject David

29 The Philistines assembled their whole army at Aphek, and Israel camped at the spring in Jezreel. ² The Philistine leaders were marching by with their companies and regiments. David and his men were marching in the rear with Achish.

³ The Philistine officers asked, “What are these Hebrews doing here?”

Achish asked the Philistine officers, “Isn’t this David, the servant of King Saul of Israel, who has been with me now for a year or two? I’ve found nothing wrong with him from the day he defected until now.”
