E i capitani de’ Filistei dissero: Che fanno qui questi Ebrei? Ed Achis disse a’ capitani de’ Filistei: Non è costui Davide, servitore di Saulle re d’Israele, il quale è stato meco già un anno e più; ed in cui non ho trovato nulla, dal giorno ch’egli si è rivoltato da parte mia fino ad oggi?

Allora i capi dei Filistei dissero: "Cosa fanno questi Ebrei?". Akish rispose ai capi dei Filistei: "Non costui Davide, servo di Saul re dIsraele, che stato con me questi giorni o questi anni? In lui non ho trovato alcun fallo dal giorno della sua defezione a oggi!".

Riveduta Bibbia
Allora i capi dei Filistei dissero: "Che fanno qui questi Ebrei?" E Akis rispose ai capi dei Filistei: "Ma questi è Davide, servo di Saul re d’Israele, che è stato presso di me da giorni, anzi da anni, e contro il quale non ho avuto nulla da ridire dal giorno della sua defezione a oggi!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said the princes of the Philistines,.... To Achish; not those of the court of Achish, who were his subjects, but the confederate princes with him in this war, the lords of the other principalities, as appears by the freedom they took with him, 1 Samuel 29:4;

what [do] these Hebrews [here]? or Jews, as the Targum; what hast thou to do with them, or they to be with thee? men of another nation and religion, and known enemies to the Philistines:

and Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines; in order to soften them, and reconcile them to these men, and their being with him:

[is] not this David the servant of Saul the king of Israel; between whom there had been a quarrel, and the former had fled from the latter to him:

which hath been with me these days, or these years; had been with him many days, and he might say years, as he had been with him one whole year, and part of another, see 1 Samuel 27:7; and he might have known him longer, if he was the same Achish David first fled to; Kimchi interprets it, that he knew him as well as if he had been with him as many years as days:

and I have found no fault in him since he fell [unto me] unto this day? the affair of David's going against the Geshurites, c. not being yet known by him, or, if it was, he approved of it, they being enemies of his this shows that David behaved with a great deal of prudence to have such a character as this from a king of the Philistines.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He fell unto me - The regular word for deserting and going over to the other side. See Jeremiah 37:13; Jeremiah 38:19.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 29:3. These days, or these years — I suppose these words to mark no definite time, and may be understood thus: "Is not this David, who has been with me for a considerable time?"
