10 And so David rose up, and fled in that day from the face of Saul, and came to Achish, the king of Gath.
11 And the servants of Achish said to him, when they had seen David, Whether this is not David, [the] king of the land? Whether they sang not to him by quires [or with dances], and said, Saul smote a thousand, and David smote ten thousand?
12 And David took these words in his heart, and he dreaded greatly of the face of Achish, king of Gath.
13 And David changed his mouth before Achish, and felled down betwixt their hands, and he painted on the doors of the gate, and his dribbles, that is, spittles, flowed down into his beard.
14 And Achish said to his servants, See ye the mad man? why brought ye him to me?
15 whether mad men fail to us? why have ye brought in him, that he should be mad, while I am present? Deliver ye him from hence, lest he enter into mine house.
