1 SAMUEL 28:1 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.”
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their forces for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, 'Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to the battle, thou and thy men' — the Philistine mobilization ('vayya'asu pᵉlišt ʾet-mḥnêhem leṣāʾet baqrāb ʿal-yiśrāʾēl') confronts David with an impossible choice. Achish's command ('yaʿdatta yāḏōʿ kî-ʿittî taṣēʾ bamilḥāmāh') compels David into an unwelcome alliance against his own people.
