1 Samuel 29:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ And Achish answered and said to David, “I know that you are pleasing in my sight like an angel of God. However the lords of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us in battle.’ ¹⁰ Therefore rise up early in the morning with your master’s servants who have come with you. And when you have risen early in the morning and it is light, then depart.”

¹¹ So David and his men rose early to depart in the morning and return to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
