1 Samuel 24:1-4
1Now 1when Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, 2he was told, saying, “Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.”
2Then 3Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and went to seek David and his men in front of the Rocks of the Wild Goats.
3He came to the sheepfolds on the way, where there was a cave; and Saul 4went in to 5relieve himself. Now 6David and his men were sitting in the inner recesses of the cave.
4The men of David said to him, “Behold, 7this is the day of which the Lord said to you, ‘Behold; 8I am about to give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it seems good 9to you.’” Then David arose and cut off the edge of Saul’s robe secretly.
