* And David arose , and fled that day from before Saul , and went to Achish the king of Gath . * And the servants of Achish said to him , Is not this David the king of the land ? did they not sing one to another of him in dances , saying , Saul has smitten his thousands , and David his ten thousands ? * And David took to heart these words , and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath . * And he changed his behaviour before them , and feigned himself mad in their hands , and scratched on the doors of the gate , and let his spittle fall down on his beard . * And Achish said to his servants , Behold , ye see the man is mad : why did ye bring him to me ? * have I lack of madmen , that ye have brought this one to rave in my presence ? shall this [man ] come into my house ?
