And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 28 of 1 Samuel. The Philistines prepare for a major battle and Achish includes David in his army. Saul becomes afraid when he sees the enemy army and consults the Lord, but receives no answer through dreams, priests, or prophets. The divine silence has decisive narrative significance: the king who previously rejected prophetic word now seeks guidance when facing a crisis. The lack of response reveals the depth of the rupture between Saul and God and prepares his desperate decision to seek a medium.

David sprach zu Achis: Wohlan, du sollst erfahren, was dein Knecht tun wird. Achis sprach zu David: Darum will ich dich zum Hüter meines Hauptes setzen mein Leben lang.
Y David respondió a Achîs: Sabrás pues lo que hará tu siervo. Y Achîs dijo a David: Por tanto te haré guarda de mi cabeza todos los días.
David le respondió a Aquis: «Entonces tú sabrás lo que hará tu servidor». Aquis le dijo: «Por eso te haré guardián de mi persona para siempre».
David répondit à Akisch: Tu verras bien ce que ton serviteur fera. Et Akisch dit à David: Aussi je te donnerai pour toujours la garde de ma personne.
E Davide disse ad Achis: Tu conoscerai adunque ciò che il tuo servitore farà. Ed Achis disse a Davide: Ed io adunque ti costituirò guardia della mia persona in perpetuo.
Então disse Davi a Aquis: Assim saberás o que fará o teu servo. E disse Aquis a Davi: Por isso te terei por guarda da minha pessoa para sempre.
