1 Samuel 24:6-10

6So he said to his men, “1Far be it from me because of the Lord that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is the Lord’s anointed.” 7David 2persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. And Saul arose, 3left the cave, and went on his way.

8Now afterward David arose and went out of the cave and called after Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” And when Saul looked behind him, 4David bowed with his face to the ground and prostrated himself. 9David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of men, saying, ‘Behold, David seeks 5to harm you’? 106Behold, this day your eyes have seen that the Lord had given you today into my hand in the cave, and 7some said to kill you, but my eye had pity on you; and I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the Lord’s anointed.’
