1 Samuel 21:12-15

1 Samuel 21:12-15 MEV

And David took these words to heart and greatly feared Achish the king of Gath. Therefore he changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands. And he scratched on the doors of the gate and let his spittle run down his beard. Then said Achish to his servants, “Behold, you see the man is acting like a madman. Why then have you brought him to me? Am I one who lacks lunatics, that you brought this one to behave as a madman in my presence? Will this man come into my house?”
