Context of 1 Samuel 29:10

8“What have I done?” David asked Achish. “What have you learned about me from the time I came to you until now? Why shouldn’t I fight your enemies, Your Majesty?” 9Achish answered David, “I admit that in my judgment you’re as good as God’s Messenger. However, the Philistine officers said, ‘He shouldn’t go into battle with us.’ Get up early in the morning with Saul’s servants who came with you, and go to the place I have assigned to you. Don’t worry about the unkind words, because I still approve of you. Get up in the morning, and leave when it’s light.” 11Early the next morning David and his men returned to Philistine territory, while the Philistines went to Jezreel.

The servants of achish; i.e., David's men thus considered; because on his coming to Gath, he had in effect given up himself and his men to Achish.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10With thy master‘s servants - The clue to this may be found in 1 Chronicles 12:19-21, where it appears that a considerable number of Manassites “fell” to David just at this time, and went back with him to Ziklag.

It is impossible not to recognize here a merciful interposition of Providence, by which David was not only saved from fighting against his king and country, but sent home just…Read the comment

God's people should always behave themselves so, as, if possible, to get the good word of all they have dealings with: and it is due to those who have acted well, to speak well of them.Read the comment
