11 And athe servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of him to one another in dances, saying:
b‘Saul has slain his thousands,
And David his ten thousands’?”
b‘Saul has slain his thousands,
And David his ten thousands’?”
12 Now David atook these words to heart, and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
13 So ahe changed his behavior before them, pretended1 madness in their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall down on his beard.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why have you brought him to me?
15 Have I need of madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?”

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain 1 Samuel 21:13:
I Samuel 21:13
The original Hebrew word translated as limited is taawaah, and it occurs only three times in the Scriptures. In I Samuel 21:13, where it is rendered "scratched" or "made marks"; in Ezekiel 9:4 where it is rendered "set," that is, set a mark; and here in Psalm 78:41, where it is rendered "limited." The word's implication is that of making a mark for any purpose. Also, it implies to delineate or to scroll or to set a mark for a limit or boundary.
