1 Samuel 24:8-16

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.

11And seeH7200, my father, yes, 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 and seeH7200 that there is neither evil nor transgression in my handH3027, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou liest in wait for 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, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked; 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 single flea.

15Jehovah therefore shall be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and do me justice [in delivering me] out of thy hand.

16And as soon as David had ended speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
