1 Samuel 29:4 in Context — 1 Samuel 29
2 E enquanto os príncipes dos filisteus revistavam suas tropas de centenas e de milhares de homens, Davi e os seus passavam na retaguarda com Aquis.
3 E disseram os príncipes dos filisteus: Que fazem aqui estes hebreus? E Aquis respondeu aos príncipes dos filisteus: Não é este Davi, o servo de Saul rei de Israel? Ele esteve comigo alguns dias ou alguns anos, e não achei coisa alguma nele desde o dia que ele veio a mim até hoje.
4 Então os príncipes dos filisteus se iraram contra ele, e disseram-lhe: Envia a este homem, que se volte ao lugar que lhe determinaste, e não venha conosco à batalha, não seja que na batalha se nos volte inimigo; pois com que coisa ele se reconciliaria com seu senhor, se não com as cabeças destes homens?
5 Não é este Davi de quem cantavam nas danças, dizendo: Saul feriu seus milhares, E Davi seus dez milhares?
6 E Aquis chamou a Davi, e disse-lhe: Vive o SENHOR, que tu foste reto, e que me pareceu bem tua saída e entrada no campo comigo, e que nenhuma coisa má achei em ti desde o dia que vieste a mim até hoje; mas aos olhos dos príncipes não agradas.
