Seine Diener zogen an seiner Seite vorüber, der ganze Kreti und der ganze Pleti [die königliche Leibwache, die aus fremden Söldnern bestand] und all die Gittiten, sechshundert Mann, die gekommen waren in seinem Gefolge von Gat, zogen an dem Könige vorüber.
Rashi
over the Cherethites and the Pelethites The meaning is that they were nations, as it is written, (Zeph. 2:5): “Woe to... the nation of Cherethites,” and from their nations were mighty warriors with David, and Benaiah was over them. Another instance of this (II Sam. 15:18): “... and all his servants passed beside him, and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites.”
Radak
ותעבור המנחה על פניו, the words על פניו are equivalent to לפניו, “ahead of him, past him.” We encounter this expression in Samuel II 15,18 עוברים על פני המלך, “marching past the king.” According to Bereshit Rabbah 76,8 the words על פניו mean “under pressure.” In other words, the entire stratagem reflected Yaakov’s dire straits at the time.
