David was King in Hebron for several years until the death of Saul. During that time, Saul pursued him intermittently, believing that David threatened his (Saul's) monarchy. At one point, David had to hole up in the territory of the Philistine King Achish. When Achish's men wanted to kill David, he pretended to be insane and they let him be.

Why was David hiding from king Saul?

In the First Book of Samuel, David had fled from Saul, to take sanctuary with Achish, king of Gad. However, Achish was turned against him, so David escaped to the cave Adullam, where he plotted his return. Care must be taken in reading this, as much of the story of King David closely so parallels the story of Judah that one of them is likely inspired by the other, with the story of Judah more likely the original. One of the many parallels is how Judah separated from his brothers to live in Adullum.
