1 Samuel 21:12-15

12DavidH1732 1tookH7760 theseH428 wordsH1697 2to heartH3824 and greatlyH3966 fearedH3372 AchishH397 kingH4428 of GathH1661.

13So he 3disguisedH8132 his sanityH2940 beforeH5869 them, and actedH1984 insanelyH1984 in their handsH3027, and scribbledH8427 on the doorsH1817 of the gateH8179, and let his salivaH7388 runH3381 downH3381 into his beardH2206.

14Then AchishH397 saidH559 to his servantsH5650, “BeholdH2009, you seeH7200 the manH376 behavingH7696 as a madmanH7696. WhyH4100 do you bringH935 him to me?

15Do I lackH2638 madmenH7696, that you have broughtH935 thisH2088 oneH2088 to actH7696 the madmanH7696 in my presenceH5921? Shall thisH2088 oneH2088 comeH935 into my houseH1004?”
