Achish said to his officers, “Look at him! Don’t you see ⌞that he’s⌟ insane? Why bring him to me?
I will thank the Lord at all times. My mouth will always praise him.
Oppression can turn a wise person into a fool, and a bribe can corrupt the mind.
So he changed his behavior ⌞when he was⌟ in their presence and acted insane ⌞as long as he was⌟ under their authority. He scribbled on the doors of the city gate and let his spit run down his beard.
Do I have such a shortage of lunatics that you bring this man so that he can show me he is insane? Does this man have to come into my house?”
