The meaning of Madness in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
This word is used in its proper sense in Deuteronomy 28:34, John 10:20, I Corinthians 14:23. It also denotes a reckless state of mind arising from various causes, as over-study (Eccl 1:17; 2:12), blind rage (Luke 6:11), or a depraved temper (Eccl 7:25; 9:3; 2Pet 2:16). David feigned madness (I Samuel 21:13) at Gath because he "was sore afraid of Achish."
