While Achish was completely persuaded of David\u2019s loyalty to him, the other Philistine overlords were downright skeptical and refused to tolerate David\u2019s presence in their midst. In their rejection, we hear echoes of David\u2019s earlier triumphs, as the Philistines once again recited the refrain of the song that the Israelite women had sung: \u201cSaul has slain in the thousands, but David in the tens of thousands\u201d (5; cf. 18:7, and 21:12). It is curious how these words seem to have reverberated among Israel\u2019s arch enemy and how the Philistines, who emigrated from the Aegean and whose language was not a Semitic one, nevertheless managed to learn these particular Hebrew words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This episode also illustrates another recurring theme in David\u2019s life, namely, the failure of his patrons to appreciate him. First Saul, then Nabal, and now Achish all had considerable reason to be indebted to David but one by one their more selfish concerns overtook their gratitude. Perhaps this is why we will eventually find David at the end of his life (1 Kings 2) dictating to Solomon his last will and testament in specific terms of who remained steadfast in their loyalty to him as opposed to who returned his favors with ingratitude.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":59308,"id":59308,"title":"isam29-no
