NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

1 Samuel 29

The Philistines Mistrust David

1

Now  athe Philistinesh6430 gatheredh6908 together allh3605 their armiesh4264 to  bAphekh663, while the Israelitesh3478 were campingh2583 by the springh5871a whichh834 is in  cJezreelh3157.

2

And the lordsh5633a of the Philistinesh6430 were proceedingh5674a on by hundredsh3967 and by thousandsh505, and  aDavidh1732 and his menh376 were proceedingh5674a on in the rearh314 with Achishh397.

3

Then the commandersh8269 of the Philistinesh6430 saidh559, "Whath4100 are theseh428 Hebrewsh5680 doing here?" And Achishh397 saidh559 to the commandersh8269 of the Philistinesh6430, "Is thish2088 not Davidh1732, the servanth5650 of Saulh7586 the kingh4428 of Israelh3478,  awhoh834 has beenh1961 with me theseh2088 daysh3117, orh176 rather theseh2088 yearsh8141, and  bI have foundh4672 noh3808 faulth3972 in him from the dayh3117 he  1desertedh5307 to me to thish2088 dayh3117?"

4

But the commandersh8269 of the Philistinesh6430 were angryh7107 with him, and the commandersh8269 of the Philistinesh6430 saidh559 to him, "Make the manh376 goh7725 backh7725, that he may returnh7725  ato his placeh4725 whereh834h8033 you have assignedh6485 him, and do not let him goh3381 downh3381 to battleh4421 with us,  borh3808 in the battleh4421 he may becomeh1961 an adversaryh7854 to us. For with whath4100 could thish2088 man makeh7521 himself acceptableh7521 to his lordh113? Would it not be with the headsh7218 of  1theseh1992a menh376?

5

"Is thish2088 not Davidh1732,  aof whomh834 they singh6031b in the dancesh4246, sayingh559, `Saulh7586 has slainh5221 his thousandsh505, And Davidh1732 his tenh7233 thousandsh7233'?"

6

Then Achishh397 calledh7121 Davidh1732 and saidh559 to him, "As the LORDh3068 livesh2416a, you have been uprighth3477, and  ayour goingh3318 out and your comingh935 in with me in the armyh4264 are pleasingh2896a in my sighth5869;  bfor I have not foundh4672 evilh7463a in you from the dayh3117 of your comingh935 to me to thish2088 dayh3117. Nevertheless, you are not pleasingh2896a in the sighth5869 of the lordsh5633a.

7

"Nowh6258 therefore returnh7725 and goh1980 in peaceh7965, that you may not displeaseh6213ah7451ah5869 the lordsh5633a of the Philistinesh6430."

8

Davidh1732 saidh559 to Achishh397, " aBut whath4100 have I doneh6213a? And whath4100 have you foundh4672 in your servanth5650 from the dayh3117 whenh834 I cameh1961 beforeh6440 you to thish2088 dayh3117, that I may not goh935 and fighth3898a against the enemiesh340 of my lordh113 the kingh4428?"

9

But Achishh397 repliedh6030a to Davidh1732, "I knowh3045 that you are pleasingh2896a in my sighth5869,  alike an angelh4397 of Godh430; neverthelessh389  bthe commandersh8269 of the Philistinesh6430 have saidh559, `He must not goh5927 up with us to the battleh4421.'

10

"Nowh6258 then ariseh7925 earlyh7925 in the morningh1242  awith the servantsh5650 of your lordh113 whoh834 have comeh935 with you, and as soon as you have arisenh7925 earlyh7925 in the morningh1242 and have lighth215, departh1980."

11

So Davidh1732 aroseh7925 earlyh7925, he and his menh376, to departh1980 in the morningh1242 to returnh7725 to the landh776 of the Philistinesh6430. And the Philistinesh6430 wenth5927 up to Jezreelh3157.
