Context of 1 Samuel 29:10
8“What have I done to deserve this treatment?” David demanded. “What have you ever found in your servant, that I can’t go and fight the enemies of my lord the king?” 9But Achish insisted, “As far as I’m concerned, you’re as perfect as an angel of God. But the Philistine commanders are afraid to have you with them in the battle. Now get up early in the morning, and leave with your men as soon as it gets light.” 11So David and his men headed back into the land of the Philistines, while the Philistine army went on 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.

But Saul may be the master to whom Achish…Read the comment
- 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.
