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.
