1 Samuel 24:6-10

6And he said to his men, Jehovah forbid that I should do this thing to my master, Jehovah's anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, for he is the anointed of Jehovah.

7And David checked his menH376 with these wordsH1697, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on [his] way.

8DavidH1732 also aroseH6965 afterwards, and went out of the caveH4631, and cried after SaulH7586, saying, My lord the king! And when SaulH7586 looked behind him, DavidH1732 bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.

9And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Why dost thou listen to words of men, sayingH559, Behold, DavidH1732 seeks thy hurt?

10Behold, this day thine eyes have seen howH4100 that Jehovah had given thee this day into my hand in the cave; and they bade me kill thee; but [mine eye] spared thee; and I saidH559, I will not put forth my hand against my lord, for he is the anointed of Jehovah.
