1 SAMUEL 29:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
And David said unto Achish, 'But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee, that I may not go fight against the enemies of the LORD thy God?' — David's response ('vayyomer dāwīd ʾel-ʿaḵîš kî mā ʿāśîtî') protests his innocence and expresses a desire to fight Israel's enemies. His language ('ʾôyyebê ʾadônî yhwh') invokes the covenant language in a polytheistic setting, suggesting David's remaining connection to Israel's God.
