09:028:021 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that
he was sore
troubled,
and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath
obeyed
thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have
hearkened
unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.
09:028:022 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou
also unto the voice
of
thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before
thee;
and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou
goest
on
thy way.
09:028:023 But he refused, and said, I will not eat.
But his servants,
together
with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto
their
voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon
the bed.
09:028:024 And the woman had a fat calf in the house;
and she hasted, and
killed
it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake
unleavened
bread thereof:
09:028:025 And she brought it before Saul, and before
his servants; and
they
did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that
night.
09:029:001 Now the Philistines gathered together all
their armies to
Aphek:
and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in
Jezreel.
09:029:002 And the lords of the Philistines passed
on by hundreds, and by
thousands:
but David and his men passed on in the rereward
with
Achish.
09:029:003 Then said the princes of the Philistines,
What do these
Hebrews
here? And Achish said unto the princes of the
Philistines,
Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king
of
Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these
years,
and
I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me
unto
this
day?
09:029:004 And the princes of the Philistines were
wroth with him; and
the
princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this
fellow
return,
that he may go again to his place which thou hast
appointed
him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest
in
the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith
should
he
reconcile himself unto his master? should it not be
with
the
heads of these men?
09:029:005 Is not this David, of whom they sang one
to another in dances,
saying,
Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
09:029:006 Then Achish called David, and said unto
him, Surely, as the
lord
liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and
thy
coming
in with me in the host is good in my sight: for
I have
not
found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto
me
unto
this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.
09:029:007 Wherefore now return, and go in peace,
that thou displease not
the
lords of the Philistines.
