1 Samuel 24:5-7

5And afterward David's heart struck him, because he had cut off a corner of Saul's robe.

6He said to his men, "The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord's anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is the Lord's anointed."

7So David persuaded his men with these words and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave and went on his way.
