(29:8) And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou [art] good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle (29:9) Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart (29:10) So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel
(29:11)
