The Philistines reject David (29:1–5)

The Philistines mustered their forces at Aphek (Template:Langx), ready to face Saul in the Jezreel (Template:Langx), when their commanders noticed the presence of "Hebrews" (Template:Langx) in their ranks—easily distinguished by their clothing.Template:Sfn Probably remembering how the Hebrews had defected at Michmas (Template:Langx; 1 Samuel 13–14), the Philistines were adamant not to allow David and his people to join their army, evenmore as they still recalled the victory song which ascribed to David for the death of "tens of thousands" of Philistines.Template:Sfn

Verse 1

Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.[4]

Achish sends David back to Ziklag (29:6–11)

Pressured by other Philistine leaders, Achish was compelled to send David back to Ziklag. However, he had never personally doubted David's loyalty; he even found David faultless, honest, blameless, "as an angel of God" (verses 3, 6–7, 9–10).[7]Template:Sfn David declared his innocence to Achish and obeyed the command to return home, thereby sparing himself from participating in the deaths of Saul and Jonathan.Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn

Verse 10

"Now, therefore, rise early in the morning with your master's servants who have come with you. And as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart."[8]
  • After "come with you", the Septuagint has "and go to the place which I have selected for you there; and set no bothersome word in your heart, for you are good before me. And rise on your way", which is not present in the Masoretic Text, Targum Jonathan,[9] or Christian Latin Vulgate versions.[10]
  • "Your master's servants who have come with you": according to Christian theologian Albert Barnes, this may refer to the considerable number of Manassites who, as reported in 1 Chronicles 12:19–21,[11] elected to follow David and went back with him to Ziklag.[12]
