1 Samuel 29:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ Is this not David, of whom they sing to one another in dances,

⁶ Then Achish called David and said to him, “As the Lord lives, you have been honest, and to me it seems right that you should march out and in with me in the campaign; for I have found nothing wrong in you from the day of your coming to me until today. Nevertheless the lords do not approve of you. ⁷ So go back now; and go peaceably; do nothing to displease the lords of the Philistines.”
