Achish
    angry, perhaps only a general title of royalty applicable to the
    Philistine kings. (1.) The king with whom David sought refuge
    when he fled from Saul (1 Sam. 21:10-15). He is called Abimelech
    in the superscription of Ps. 34. It was probably this same king
    to whom David a second time repaired at the head of a band of
    600 warriors, and who assigned him Ziklag, whence he carried on
    war against the surrounding tribes (1 Sam. 27:5-12). Achish had
    great confidence in the valour and fidelity of David (1 Sam.
    28:1,2), but at the instigation of his courtiers did not permit
    him to go up to battle along with the Philistine hosts (1 Sam.
    29:2-11). David remained with Achish a year and four months.
    (2.) Another king of Gath, probably grandson of the foregoing,
    to whom the two servants of Shimei fled. This led Shimei to go
    to Gath in pursuit of them, and the consequence was that Solomon
    put him to death (1 Kings 2:39-46).
