Isaías 40:27-31
Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel,“ My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God”?Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (niv)

That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath.But the servants of Achish said to him,“ Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Isn’t he the one they sing about in their dances:“‘ Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath.So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.Achish said to his servants,“ Look at the man! He is insane! Why bring him to me?Am I so short of madmen that you have to bring this fellow here to carry on like this in front of me? Must this man come into my house?” (niv)

1 Samuel 29 2-1 Samuel 30 3
As the Philistine rulers marched with their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men were marching at the rear with Achish.The commanders of the Philistines asked,“ What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied,“ Is this not David, who was an officer of Saul king of Israel? He has already been with me for over a year, and from the day he left Saul until now, I have found no fault in him.”But the Philistine commanders were angry with Achish and said,“ Send the man back, that he may return to the place you assigned him. He must not go with us into battle, or he will turn against us during the fighting. How better could he regain his master’s favor than by taking the heads of our own men?Isn’t this the David they sang about in their dances:“‘ Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?So Achish called David and said to him,“ As surely as the Lord lives, you have been reliable, and I would be pleased to have you serve with me in the army. From the day you came to me until today, I have found no fault in you, but the rulers don’t approve of you.Now turn back and go in peace; do nothing to displease the Philistine rulers.”“ But what have I done?” asked David.“ What have you found against your servant from the day I came to you until now? Why can’t I go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”Achish answered,“ I know that you have been as pleasing in my eyes as an angel of God; nevertheless, the Philistine commanders have said,‘ He must not go up with us into battle.’Now get up early, along with your master’s servants who have come with you, and leave in the morning as soon as it is light.”So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it,and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way.When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.
