  • Kupsabiny: “Then, Achish called David and told him that, ‘The truth is that, you are a righteous person and I feel like we could go together into battle, because I have never seen/noticed any sin in you since you came here. But, the other kings think that you are not good.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then Achish sent to summon David and he said, " As surely as LORD lives, you are a very trustworthy person and seeing the work that you have done in my army, I am very happy. Ever since you came to me, I have not found any guilt in you but the other rulers do not trust you.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)

(are) trustworthy, and I would- greatly -desire/like that you would accompany/go-with me into battle, because from the day you (sing.) came-to/were-with me until now I have-found nothing bad/wrong in you (sing.). But the other rulers/[lit. heads] do-not-have trust in you (sing.).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So Achish summoned David, and said to him, ‘Just as surely as Yahweh lives, you have been loyal to me. I would like very much for you to fight along with my army. Since the day that you came to me, I have not found/seen that you have any faults. But the other Philistia rulers do not trust you.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
