We now go back to the alliance between David and Achish (chapter 27). It seems that it was going well, and the Philistine believed that David was a good man (v. 6). The Philistine uses the “as the Lord lives” phrase that was our meditation for chapter 26 (which is used in the life of David more than all the rest of the Old Testament). Some of the Philistines were suspicious of David, so they pressured Achish to sever the friendship, and he did. Suspicious people are not worth imitating and do not need to be our advisors.
