1 Samuel 24:11-14

11My father, look at what I have in my hand! It is a small piece of your coat. I cut this off the corner of your coat, but I did not kill you. So you must know that I do not want to do anything bad against you. I have not turned against you. I am not guilty of anything, but you are chasing after me so that you can kill me.

12The Lord is the judge who will decide which of us is guilty. I pray that he will punish you for what you are doing to me. But I myself will never do anything to hurt you.

13You know the proverb, “Evil people do evil things.” But I will never try to hurt you.

14You are Israel's king. So why are you chasing after someone like me? I am less important than a dead dog or a little fly!
