וַיֹּאמֶר אָכִישׁ אֶל־עֲבָדָיו הִנֵּה תִרְאוּ אִישׁ מִשְׁתַּגֵּעַ לָמָּה תָּבִיאוּ אֹתוֹ אֵלָֽי׃
Achish said to his servants, "Behold, you see the man is mad. Why have you brought him to me?

חֲסַר מְשֻׁגָּעִים אָנִי כִּֽי־הֲבֵאתֶם אֶת־זֶה לְהִשְׁתַּגֵּעַ עָלָי הֲזֶה יָבוֹא אֶל־בֵּיתִֽי׃ {פ}
Do I lack madmen that you brought this one to display his madness in front of me? Should such [a person] come into my house?"

Rashi
הזה יבא אל ביתי. לשון תמיהה, ולכך נקוד חטף פתח, ורפי:
Should such [a person] come into my house. This is in the form of a question; it is [i.e., the 'ה'] therefore punctuated by a חֲטַף פַּתָּח and [the ז] is not punctuated by a דָגֵּשׁ.
