6 Then Achish called David and said to him, "As the Lord lives , you have been upright , and your going out and your coming in with me in the army are pleasing in my sight ; for I have not found evil in you from the day of your coming to me to this day . Nevertheless, you are not pleasing in the sight of the lords .

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 29:6

Commentary on 1 Samuel 29:6-11

(Read 1 Samuel 29:6-11)

David scarcely ever had a greater deliverance than when dismissed from such insnaring service. God's people should always behave themselves so, as, if possible, to get the good word of all they have dealings with: and it is due to those who have acted well, to speak well of them.
