And Akhish believed him; he said, “David has caused his own people Isra’el to despise him utterly; he will be my servant forever.”
David is a complicated figure. I don’t know what to say about his actions in this chapter. The best I can say is that he employs some clever tactics to survive. He deceives Akhish, but I suppose it isn’t a moral issue to lie to an enemy.
