1 Samuel 29:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ Isn’t this David, about whom they sang to one another as they danced, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?’”

⁶ Then Achish called David and said to him, “As the Lord lives, you have been straightforward with me. As far as I am concerned,^[a] it would be good to have you accompany me^[b] on this campaign, because I have not found anything wrong with you from the day you came to me right up to this day. Nevertheless, in the opinion of the serens you are a liability. ⁷ So now return. Go in peace, so that you do not displease the serens of the Philistines.”
