What did Achish mean when he said that David would always be his servant?

1 Samuel 27:12 (NEG79)

12 Akisch se fiait à David, et il disait: Il se rend odieux à Israël, son peuple, et il sera mon serviteur à jamais.

Achish considered that David would be his vassal for life, loyal in his service until the day of his death.1 Even after Saul’s kingship passed away, given what Achish thought David did to the people of Judah, he assumed there was no way in which David would be well received in Israel.
