Shmuel Alef 21:11-13

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^11 (12) And the avadim of Achish said unto him, Is not this Dovid Melech HaAretz? Did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Sha’ul hath slain his thousands, and Dovid his myriads?

^12 (13) And Dovid laid up these devarim in his levav, and was very much afraid of Achish Melech Gat.

^13 (14) And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself a madman in their hands, and scratched on the daletot hasha’ar, and let his spittle fall down upon his zakan (beard).
