Is it a court compliment or a Divine word?
Saul slew his thousands; David slew tens of thousands.
So, who is proven?
Of men or God?
Did David "cave in" to Achish?
One thing David did right.
Always behave well to get the good out of all the people you deal with---speak well of them. Then, let it go. It will either go one way or the other. That's not your control. For David, it went well. His secret hope came true and he is more than relieved. And Achish says: "go to peace" and that's the best yet.
The Jews distinguished between wishing a person to "go in peace" or to "go to peace." The former means it is not issued happily; the latter means it certainly is given with affection: "Go to peace."
