1 Samuel 24:14

10 Behold, this day you have seen with your own eyes that the LORD delivered you into my hand in the cave. I was told to kill you, but I spared you and said, ‘I will not lift my hand against my lord, since he is the LORD’s anointed.’

11 See, my father, look at the corner of your robe in my hand. For I cut it off, but I did not kill you. See and know that there is no evil or rebellion in my hands. I have not sinned against you, even though you are hunting me down to take my life.

12 May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD take vengeance on you, but my hand will never be against you.

13 As the old proverb says, ‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand will never be against you.

14 Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom are you pursuing? A dead dog? A flea?

15 May the LORD be our judge and decide between you and me. May He take notice and plead my case and deliver me from your hand.”

16 When David had finished saying these things, Saul called back, “Is that your voice, David my son?” Then Saul wept aloud

17 and said to David, “You are more righteous than I, for you have rewarded me with good, though I have rewarded you with evil.

18 And you have shown this day how well you have dealt with me; for when the LORD delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me.
