Contextual Overview
6 So Achish called David and said, "As surely as the Lord lives, you are loyal to me. I would be pleased to have you serve in my army. I haven't found anything wrong with you since the day you came to me. The Philistine rulers also think you are a good man. 7 Go back in peace. Don't do anything against the Philistine rulers." 8 David asked, "What have I done wrong? Have you found anything wrong with me since the day I came to you? So why won't you let me go to fight the enemies of my lord the king?" 9 Achish answered, "I believe that you are a good man. You are like an angel from God. But the Philistine captains still say, ‘David can't go with us into battle.' 10 Early in the morning, you and your men should go back to the city I gave you. Don't pay attention to the bad things the captains say about you. You are a good man, but you must leave as soon as there is enough light in the morning." 11 So David and his men got up early in the morning and went back to the country of the Philistines, and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore now return,.... To Ziklag:
and go in peace; not only in a peaceable manner, easy and satisfied, as David was at his very heart to hear this, but all prosperity and happiness attend thee; the Jews n distinguish between wishing persons to go in peace, and to go to peace; the former they observe has not issued happily, when the other has, and they instance in the wish of Jethro to Moses, and of David to Absalom;
that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines: and what would be the consequence of that he could not say, but suggests it would be most for his peace and safety to depart.
n T. Bab. Beracot, fol. 64. 1. Sepher Alphes, par. 1. fol. 421. 2.
