But the servants of Achish said to him, "Is this not David, the king of the land? Did they not sing about him in their dances, saying: 'Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands'?" Context 11But the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of this one as they danced, saying,‘Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands’?” 12David took these words to heart and greatly feared Achish king of Gath. 13So he disguised his sanity before them, and acted insanely in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva run down into his beard. 14Then Achish said to his servants, “Behold, you see the man behaving as a madman. Why do you bring him to me? 15“Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this one to act the madman in my presence? Shall this one come into my house?” Links 1 Samuel 21:11 NIV1 Samuel 21:11 NLT 1 Samuel 21:11 ESV 1 Samuel 21:11 NASB 1 Samuel 21:11 KJV 1 Samuel 21:11 Commentaries Bible Hub |
