What does 1 Samuel 29:6 mean?

So Achish called David over and said, 'As far as I'm concerned, you've always been honest and loyal. I would have been happy to have you fight alongside me, because I haven't found anything wrong with you since you came to me. But the other rulers don't trust you.' 1 Samuel 29:6 - Modern Text Bible

(Achish, the Philistine king, genuinely trusts David and wants him to stay, but the other Philistine leaders are too suspicious to allow it.)
