1 Samuel 29:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ After all, this is the same David people sing about in their dances,

⁶ So Achish summoned David and told him, “As surely as the Lord lives, you are an upstanding individual. I would very much like you to serve with me in the army because I haven’t found anything wrong with you from the day you came to me until now. But the rulers don’t approve of you. ⁷ So go back home now, and go in peace. Don’t do anything to upset the Philistine rulers.”
