- 1Now the Philistines gathered together all their hosts to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is in Jezreel.
- 2The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish.
- 3Then said the princes of the Philistines, What [supplied: do] these Hebrews [supplied: here]? Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, Isn't this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or [supplied: rather] these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away [supplied: to me] to this day?
