1 Samuel 28:1-3

Living Bible

28 About that time the Philistines mustered their armies for another war with Israel.

“Come and help us fight,” King Achish said to David and his men.

² “Good,” David agreed. “You will soon see what a help we can be to you.”

“If you are, you shall be my personal bodyguard for life,” Achish told him.

³ (Meanwhile, Samuel had died and all Israel had mourned for him. He was buried in Ramah, his hometown. King Saul had banned all mediums and wizards from the land of Israel.)
