Context of 1 Samuel 29:10
8But David said to Achish, “What have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day that I first came into your presence until the present time, that I shouldn’t go and fight the enemies of my lord the king?” 9Achish replied to David, “I am convinced that you are as reliable as the angel of God! However, the leaders of the Philistines have said, ‘He must not go up with us in the battle.’ So get up early in the morning along with the servants of your lord who have come with you. When you get up early in the morning, as soon as it is light enough to see, leave.” 11So David and his men got up early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines, but the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10With thy master's servants - Who were these? has been very properly asked; and to this question there can be but two answers: - The six hundred Israelites which were with him; and who might still be considered the subjects of Saul, though now residing in a foreign land.

- 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.
