1 Samuel 21:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² When David realized what they had said, he was terrified of King Achish of Gath. ¹³ So he changed his behavior ⌞when he was⌟ in their presence and acted insane ⌞as long as he was⌟ under their authority. He scribbled on the doors of the city gate and let his spit run down his beard.

¹⁴ Achish said to his officers, “Look at him! Don’t you see ⌞that he’s⌟ insane? Why bring him to me?
