Remember that David and his men were having to march with the Philistine army. David was at the rear. Some of the Philistines were understandably wary of David as he was a Hebrew. Achish is confident in David's loyalty, based on the experience of the last year. However, the army was adamant that David should not be with them.
Achish finally agrees to send David and his men back to Ziklag, but makes it clear to David that he has nothing against him.
David keeps up the deception, pleading to be allowed to attack Saul. One tends to think that David is pushing his luck here and should just up! Or maybe David was hoping to use the battle as an opportunity to attack and defeat the Philistines. However, David and his men had to return from whence they came.
