This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
feigned himself mad - It is supposed to have been an attack of epilepsy, real or perhaps only pretended. This disease is relieved by foaming at the mouth.
let his spittle fall down upon his beard - No wonder that Achish supposed him insane, as such an indignity, whether done by another, or one’s self, to the beard, is considered in the East an intolerable insult.
