As Yahweh lives,' Achish said, calling David to him, 'you have been completely trustworthy, and I would be glad to have you marching at my side—I have found nothing wrong in you from the day you arrived until now. But the Philistine lords will not have it.'
Then Akhish called Dawid and said to him, 'As YHWH lives, you have been upright, and it is good in my eyes for you to march out and march in with me in the campaign—I have found nothing wrong in you from the day you came to me until this day. But in the eyes of the lords, you are not acceptable.'
Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.
So Achish summoned David and told him, “As surely as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and it seems right in my sight that you should march in and out with me in the army, because I have found no fault in you from the day you came to me until this day. But you are not good in the sight of the leaders.
