Reading for April 10th

Read 1 Samuel 29.1-11
In 29.1-11: The Philistines reject David.
In verse 2: The lords of the Philistines are the rulers of the five main Philistine cities.
Inverse 3: The commanders of the Philistine army who will actually be in battle object to the presence of David and his men, who the they refer to as Hebrews, possibly a term for mercenaries.
In verse 6: It is surprising that Achish, the Philistine, swears here by Lord, that is, Yahweh, the God of Israel.
In verse 8: David's wish to fight against the enemies of my lord the king is ambiguous.
David's "lord" is Saul, but Achish takes as a reference to himself.
In verse 10: The place that i have appointed for you is Ziklag.
