1 Samuel 29:5-7
Lexham English Bible

5 Is this not David about whom they sing in the dances, saying,

‘Saul has killed his thousands,
    but David his ten thousands’?”

6 So Achish called David and said to him, “As Yahweh lives,[a] certainly you were honest, and I am pleased to have you marching with me[b] in the campaign.[c] For I have not found any wrong in you from the day you came to me until this day, but in the eyes of the rulers, you are not good. 7 So then, return and go in peace, so that you do not do something that displeases[d] the rulers of the Philistines.”
