1 Samuel 24:11-18

11Moreover, my father, seeH7200, yea, seeH7200 the skirt of thy robe in my handH3027; for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killedH2026 thee not, know thou and seeH7200 that there is neither evil nor transgression in my handH3027, and I have not sinned against thee, though thou huntest after my life to take it. 12Jehovah judge between me and thee, and Jehovah avenge me of thee; but my handH3027 shall not be upon thee. 13As saith the proverb of the ancients, Out of the wicked cometh forth wickedness; but my handH3027 shall not beH1961 upon thee. 14After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea. 15Jehovah therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.

16And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept. 17And he saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast rendered unto me good, whereas I have rendered unto thee evil. 18And thou hast declared this day how that thou hast dealtH1580 well with me, forasmuch as when Jehovah had delivered me up into thy hand, thou killedst me not.
