God’s Word Translation
1 Samuel 24:6-10
6He said to his men, “It would be unthinkable for me to raise my hand against His Majesty, the Lord’s anointed king, since he is the Lord’s anointed.”
7So David stopped his men by saying this to them and didn’t let them attack Saul. Saul left the cave and went out onto the road.
8Later, David got up, left the cave, and called to Saul, “Your Majesty!” When Saul looked back, David knelt down with his face touching the ground.
9David asked Saul, “Why do you listen to rumors that I am trying to harm you?
10Today you saw how the Lord handed you over to me in the cave. Although I was told to kill you, I spared you, saying, ‘I will not raise my hand against Your Majesty because you are the Lord’s anointed.’
