* Then 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 this not David the king of the land ? Did they not sing of him to one another in dances , saying : "Saul has slain his thousands , And David his ten thousands '?" * Now David took these words to heart , and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath . * So he changed his behavior before them , pretended madness in their hands , scratched on the doors of the gate , and let his saliva fall down on his beard . * Then Achish said to his servants , "Look , you see the man is insane . Why have you brought him to me ? * Have I need of madmen , that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence ? Shall this fellow come into my house ?"
