1 Samuel 24:2-5
2So SaulH7586 tookH3947 threeH7969 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376 from allH3605 IsraelH3478 and wentH1980 to look forH1245 DavidH1732 and his menH582 inH5921 the regionH6440 of the RocksH6697 of the Wild GoatsH3277.
3Soon Saul cameH935 toH413 the sheepfoldsH6629H1448 alongH5921 the roadH1870, where there wasH8033 a caveH4631, and heH7586 went inH935 to relieveH5526 himselfH7272.1 And DavidH1732 and his menH582 were hidingH3427 in the recessesH3411 of the caveH4631. 4So David’sH1732 menH376 saidH559 to himH413, “This isH2009 the dayH3117 about whichH834 the LORDH3068 saidH559 to youH413, ‘BeholdH2009, IH595 will deliverH5414 your enemyH341 into your handH3027, that you may doH6213 with him asH834 you wishH3190H5869.’”
Then DavidH1732 crept upH6965 and stealthilyH3909 cut offH3772 a cornerH3671 of Saul’sH7586 robeH4598.
AfterwardH310H3651, David’sH1732 conscienceH3820 was strickenH5221 becauseH5921 he had cut offH3772 the cornerH3671 of Saul’s robeH7586.
