Then Achish said to his servants, “Behold, you see the man behaving as a madman. Why do you bring him to me?
I will bless Yahweh at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
For oppression gives a wise man over to madness, And a bribe destroys the heart.
So he disguised his sanity in their sight and acted insanely in their hands and scribbled on the doors of the gate and let his saliva run down into his beard.
Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this one to act the madman before me? Shall this one come into my house?”
