He doesn’t answer me anymore, either through the prophets or in dreams. So I’ve called on you to tell me what I should do.”

You did not obey the Lord and did not carry out His burning anger against Amalek; therefore the Lord has done this to you today.

“But what have I done?” David replied to Achish. “From the first day I was with you until today, what have you found against your servant to keep me from going along to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”

But David said, “My brothers, you must not do this with what the Lord has given us. He protected us and handed over to us the raiders who came against us.
