1 Samuel 26:21-25

21Then SaulH7586 repliedH559, “I have sinnedH2398. Come backH7725, DavidH1732 my sonH1121. I will neverH3808 harmH7489 you againH5750, becauseH8478 todayH3117H2088H2009 you consideredH5869 my lifeH5315 preciousH3365. I have played the foolH5528 and have committed a graveH7235H3966 errorH7686!”

22“HereH2009 is the king’sH4428 spearH2595,” DavidH1732H559 answeredH6030. “Let one ofH259 the young menH5288 come overH5674 and get itH3947. 23May the LORDH3068 repayH7725 every manH376 for his righteousnessH6666 andH853 faithfulnessH530. ForH834 the LORDH3068 delivered youH5414 into my handH3027 todayH3117, butH3808 I would notH14 extendH7971 my handH3027 against the LORD’sH3068 anointedH4899. 24As surely asH2009 I valuedH5869H1431 your lifeH5315 todayH3117H2088, soH3651 may the LORDH3068 valueH5869H1431 my lifeH5315 and rescue meH5337 from allH3605 troubleH6869.”

25SaulH7586 saidH559 toH413 himH1732, “May youH859 be blessedH1288, DavidH1732 my sonH1121H1571H6213. You will accomplish great thingsH6213 andH1571 will surely prevailH3201.”

So DavidH1732 wentH1980 on his wayH1870, and SaulH7586 returnedH7725 homeH4725.
