Context of 1 Samuel 29:10
8“But what have I done?” asked David. “What have you found against your servant from the day I came to you until now? Why can’t I go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?” 9Achish answered, “I know that you have been as pleasing in my eyes as an angel of God; nevertheless, the Philistine commanders have said, ‘He must not go up with us into battle.’ Now get up early, along with your master’s servants who have come with you, and leave in the morning as soon as it is light.” 11So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines, and 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.

It is therefore to these new comers that Achish applies the expression. 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
