12. Then David took these words to his heart, and he became exceedingly afraid before the face of Achish, the king of Gath.
13. And he altered his mouth before them, and he slipped down between their hands. And he stumbled against the doors of the gate. And his spit flowed down his beard.

15. Or do we have need of those who are mad, so that you would bring in this one, to behave madly in my presence? How did this man get into my house?"
