1 Samuel 29:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 29

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.

7 Volta-te, pois, e vai-te em paz; e não faças o mal aos olhos dos príncipes dos filisteus.

8 E Davi respondeu a Aquis: Que fiz? que achaste em teu servo desde o dia que estou contigo até hoje, para que eu não vá e lute contra os inimigos de meu senhor o rei?

9 E Aquis respondeu a Davi, e disse: Eu sei que tu és bom em meus olhos, como um anjo de Deus; mas os príncipes dos filisteus disseram: Não venha conosco à batalha.

10 Levanta-te, pois de manhã, tu e os servos de teu senhor que vieram contigo; e levantando-vos de manhã, logo ao amanhecer parti-vos.
