1 Samuel 21:12-15
New International Version
1 Samuel 21:12-15
New International Version
12 David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath. 13 So he pretended to be insane(A) in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.
14 Achish said to his servants, “Look at the man! He is insane! Why bring him to me? 15 Am I so short of madmen that you have to bring this fellow here to carry on like this in front of me? Must this man come into my house?”
