Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Samuel 29:6

6 ¶ Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth , thou hast been upright, and thy going out, and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my [illegible: 1+ letters]ight: for I have not found evil in thee, since the day of thy coming unto me , unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.

i. e. Thy whole conversation with me. See chap. 18. 13. and many other place where that Phrase is used.

Though before that time there was Evil in thee towards me and my people.

Marginal references: Heb. thou art not good in the eyes of the lords.
