David Flees to Gath
10
And David rose and fled that day from Saul and went to 1Achish the king of Gath.
11
And the servants of Achish said to him, "Is not this David the king of the land? 2Did they not sing to one another of him in dances, 'Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?"
12
And David 3took these words to heart and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
13
So he changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands and made marks on the doors of the gate and let his spittle run down his beard.
14
Then Achish said to his servants, "Behold, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me?
15
Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to behave as a madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"
