“David took these words to heart, and he became very much afraid of King Achish of Gath. 13 So he disguised his sanity+ in their presence and acted insane while among them.*” - 1 Samuel 21:12, 13

3 In Psalm 56, David expresses his feelings while he was in Gath. That psalm lays bare David’s fears, but it also reveals how he conquered those fears. When he felt afraid, David trusted in Jehovah. (Read Psalm 56:1-3, 11.) ​—1 Sam. 21:13–22:1. w24 #1 par 3

"the king of Israel disguised himself and entered the battle" - 1 Kings 22:19

David devised an unusual but effective strategy: He pretended to be crazy! Achish now viewed David more as an irritant than a threat, so David was able to escape.​—1 Sam. 21:13–22:1. w24 1/15 #1 par 3

Another Escape From Death

7. Why was Gath not a safe hiding place for David?

7 From Nob, David fled about 25 miles [40 km] west into Philistine territory and sought refuge with King Achish in Goliath’s hometown, Gath. Perhaps David reasoned that Gath would be the last place that Saul would look for him. Soon, though, servants of Gath’s king recognized David. When David overheard that he had been identified, “he became very much afraid on account of Achish the king of Gath.”​—1 Samuel 21:10-12.

8. (a) What does Psalm 56 tell us about David’s experience in Gath? (b) How did David have a narrow escape from death?

8 The Philistines then laid hold of David. It may have been at this time that David composed the heartfelt psalm in which he appealed to Jehovah: “Do put my tears in your skin bottle.” (Psalm 56:8 and superscription) He thus expressed his confidence that Jehovah would not forget his grief but would lovingly care for him and protect him. David also thought out a strategy for deceiving the Philistine king. He acted as if he were insane. Seeing this, King Achish rebuked his servants for bringing a “crazy” man before him. Clearly, Jehovah blessed David’s strategy. David was driven from the city, having experienced another narrow escape from death.​—1 Samuel 21:13-15.
