So Achish finally summoned David and said to him, “I swear by the LORD that you have been a trustworthy ally. I think you should go with me into battle, for I’ve never found a single flaw in you from the day you arrived until today. But the other Philistine rulers won’t hear of it.”
David was fully trustworthy as far as King Achish was concerned, but the Philistine commanders were very suspicious. They persuaded the king to send him away from the battlefield and back to his Philstine home.
Would David really have gone into battle against his own people?
