	Achish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 7th century BCE Royal inscription from Tel Miqne-Ekron the name Achish appears along with four other names of the local kings of Ekron.
		A common interpretation of the name Achish is to explain the name as being similar to the Greek "Akhayus", meaning the "Achean", incidating the Aegean/Greek origin of the Philistines.
		Thus (according to David M. Rohl), the name corresponds to Shuwardata, "the Sun has given," the king of Gath in the Amarna Letters.

	Shmuel Chapter 29, 30
		Here, too, the question Achish and the Plishtim are facing is the extent to which David’s attachment to the Jewish people was natural and essential to his being (as was the case, proving the Plishti leaders right) or was not, and easily changed.
		The best possibility is that David wanted to be absolutely sure that Achish trusted him, since he did not know how long he would have to stay with Achish (he, after all, had not visited the witch).
		While he knows that Achish is sending him home, he may have worried that the other Plishti leaders had planted seeds of doubt in Achish’s head.

		Achish believes the men of David are with them, and against Israel.
		I Samuel 29:2 "And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward with Achish." God has placed David and his men at the rear of this group, so they will not be involved in the death of their brother Hebrews.

	Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible [First Samuel, Chapter XXVII].
		Achish bade him welcome, partly out of generosity, being proud of entertaining so brave a man, partly out of policy, hoping to engage him for ever to his service, and that his example would invite many more to desert and come over to him.
		In a town of his own he might have the more free exercise of his religion, and keep his men better to it, and not have his righteous soul vexed, as it was at Gath, with the idolatries of the Philistines.
		The fidelity of Achish to him, his good opinion of him, and the confidence he put in him, aggravate his sin in deceiving him thus, which, with some other such instances, David seems penitently to reflect upon when he prays, Remove from me the way of lying.

	24. His Sore Dilemma
		Achish was thoroughly deceived, for we read, "Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant forever" (27: 12).
		And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?" (v.
		But Achish was not to be moved, and said, "Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master’s servants that are come with thee; and as soon as ye be up early in the morning and have light, depart" (v.

	Shmuel Chapter 27
		He stays there for a while, but eventually asks Achish for permission to take a town of his own, instead of living off the king's bounty, and Achish agrees to give him Tsiklag, which is why that town was permanently held by the Judean kings.
		In going there, David had to pretend to Achish that he had switched sides; indeed, at the end of this week’s selection, David has consented to be at the forefront of the battle against his own people.
		This might be similar to a person who has decided he wants to be the CEO of a company one day, and consciously moves from one type of job to another, so as to gain the experience and talents needed to have a broad vision of the company as a whole.
