Wesley's Notes

29:2 With Achish - As the life - guard of Achish. Achish being, as it seems, the general of the army.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

2. David and his men passed on in the rereward with Achish-as the commander of the lifeguards of Achish, who was general of this invading army of the Philistines.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

29:1-5 David waited with a secret hope that the Lord would help him out of his difficulty. But he seems to have been influenced too much by the fear of man, in consenting to attend Achish. It is hard to come near to the brink of sin, and not to fall in. God inclined the princes of the Philistines to oppose David's being employed in the battle. Thus their dislike befriended him, when no friend could do him such a kindness.


1 Samuel 28:1 Now it came about in those days that the Philistines gathered their armed camps for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, "Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the camp, you and your men."
1 Samuel 28:2 David said to Achish, "Very well, you shall know what your servant can do." So Achish said to David, "Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life." (NASB ©1995)
