Caught Unaware depicts the scene from First Samuel 21, where David disguised himself as a madman to flee from Saul.
CHAPTER 21:
10 Then David rose up and fled that day from before Saul, and he went to Achish the king of Gath.
11 But the servants of Achish said to him, Is this not David the king of the land? Is this not him of whom they sang to one another in dances, saying, Saul has struck down his thousands; But David, his ten thousands?
12 And David took these words to heart and feared Achish the king of Gath greatly.
13 So he disguised his sanity in their sight and acted like a madman before them, and he made marks on the doors of the gate and let his spittle run down his beard.
14 And Achish said to his servants, Look, you see that the man is mad. Why have you brought him to me?
15 Do I lack madmen that you have brought this one to me to be a madman before me? Shall this one come into my house?
