| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| With thy master's servants - The clue to this may be found in Ch1 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 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 in time to recover his wives and property from the Amalekites 1 Sam. 30. That David maintained his position by subtlety and falsehood, which were the invariable characteristics of his age and nation, is not in the least to be wondered at. No sanction is given by this narrative to the use of falsehood. |

With thy master's servants - Who were these? has been very properly asked; and to this question there can be but two answers: -
1. 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.
2. 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. But Saul may be the master to whom Achish refers, and the words convey a delicate information to David that he is no vassal, but still at liberty. |
19 And there fell [05307] some of Manasseh [04519] to David [01732], when he came [0935] with the Philistines [06430] against Saul [07586] to battle [04421]: but they helped [05826] them not: for the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] upon advisement [06098] sent [07971] him away, saying [0559], He will fall [05307] to his master [0113] Saul [07586] to the jeopardy of our heads [07218].
20 As he went [03212] to Ziklag [06860], there fell [05307] to him of Manasseh [04519], Adnah [05734], and Jozabad [03107], and Jediael [03043], and Michael [04317], and Jozabad [03107], and Elihu [0453], and Zilthai [06769], captains [07218] of the thousands [0505] that were of Manasseh [04519].
21 And they helped [05826] David [01732] against the band [01416] of the rovers: for they were all mighty men [01368] of valour [02428], and were captains [08269] in the host [06635].
