*
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 ?"
