1 Samuel 21:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 21:12

And David laid up these words in his heart
Pondered upon them, and thought them over in his mind, finding that he was known, and his character also, and considered with himself what might be the consequence of this:

and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath;
lest he should be set against him, and be prevailed upon by his servants to take away his life, or deliver him up into the hands of Saul.

1 Samuel 21:12 In-Context

10 Alors David se leva, et s'enfuit ce jour-là de devant Saül, et s'en alla vers Akish, roi de Gath.
11 Or les serviteurs d'Akish lui dirent: N'est-ce pas là David, le roi du pays? N'est-ce pas celui dont on disait, en chantant dans les danses: Saül a tué ses mille, et David ses dix mille?
12 Et David fut frappé de ces paroles, et il eut une fort grande peur d'Akish, roi de Gath.
13 Et il dissimula sa raison à leurs yeux, et fit l'insensé entre leurs mains; il faisait des marques sur les portes, et laissait couler sa salive sur sa barbe.
14 Alors Akish dit à ses serviteurs: Vous voyez bien que cet homme est fou? Pourquoi me l'avez-vous amené?
