1 Samuel 29:4 And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary H7854 to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?

2 Samuel 19:22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries H7854 unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?
