19 Some men of Manasseh went over to David's side when he marched out with the Philistines to fight against Saul. But David and his men didn't help the Philistines. That's because after all of the Philistine rulers had discussed the matter, they sent him away. They said, "Suppose he deserts to his master Saul. Then our heads will be cut off!"

Definition(s):
David (Deh-vidd): well-beloved, dear
Manasseh (Man-ass-e): forgetfulness; he that is forgotten
Philistines (Fill-iss-tigns): those who dwell in villages
