1. 1 Samuel 29:7 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

What does Achish mean when he calls on David to go peaceably?

1 Samuel 29:7 (ESV)

7 So go back now; and go peaceably, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines.”

Go peaceably is a cordial expression of farewell (see also 2 Samuel 15:9, 2 Samuel 15:27).1 David could return to Ziklag without any damage to his reputation (in the sight of Achish).
