Bible verse
When David had finished saying these things, Saul called back, “Is that your voice, David my son?” Then Saul wept aloud
1 Samuel 24:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Samuel 24.
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.
19 When a man finds his enemy, does he let him go away unharmed? May the LORD reward you with good for what you have done for me this day.
20 Now I know for sure that you will be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hands.
