1 Samuel 21 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
10 David therefore arose, and fled that day from the face of Saul: and came to Achis the king of Geth,
11 & the servants of Achis said to him, when they had seen David: Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing in dances to this man saying: Saul struck a thousand, and David ten thousand?
12 But David put these words in his heart, and feared exceedingly at the face of Achis the king of Geth.
13 And he changed his countenance before them, and slipt down between their hands and he stumbled at the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard.
14 And Achis said to his servants: You have seen the man mad: why have you brought him to me?
15 Do we lack mad men, that you have brought in this fellow, to play the mad man in my presence? Shall this man enter into my house?
