1 Samuel 21:13 in Context — 1 Samuel 21
11 Les serviteurs d’Akisch lui dirent: N’est-ce pas là David, roi du pays? N’est-ce pas celui pour qui l’on chantait en dansant: Saül a frappé ses mille, Et David ses dix mille?
12 David prit à cœur ces paroles, et il eut une grande crainte d’Akisch, roi de Gath.
13 Il se montra comme fou à leurs yeux, et fit devant eux des extravagances; il faisait des marques sur les battants des portes, et il laissait couler sa salive sur sa barbe.
14 Akisch dit à ses serviteurs: Vous voyez bien que cet homme a perdu la raison; pourquoi me l’amenez-vous?
15 Est-ce que je manque de fous, pour que vous m’ameniez celui-ci et me rendiez témoin de ses extravagances? Faut-il qu’il entre dans ma maison?
