1 Samuel 24:11-18
11Now, 1my fatherH1, seeH7200! IndeedH1571, seeH7200 the edgeH3671 of your robeH4598 in my handH3027! For in that I cutH3772 offH3772 the edgeH3671 of your robeH4598 and did not killH2026 you, knowH3045 and perceiveH7200 that thereH369 is noH369 evilH7463 or 2rebellionH6588 in my handsH3027, and I have not sinnedH2398 against you, though you 3are lyingH6658 in waitH6658 for my lifeH5315 to takeH3947 it. 124May the LordH3068 judgeH8199 betweenH996 5you and me, and may the LordH3068 avengeH5358 me on you; but my handH3027 shall not be against you. 13As the proverbH4912 of the ancientsH6931 saysH559, ‘6Out of the wickedH7563 comesH3318 forthH3318 wickednessH7562’; but my handH3027 shall not be against you. 14AfterH310 whomH4310 has the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 comeH3318 out? WhomH4310 are you pursuingH7291? 7A deadH4191 dogH3611, 8a singleH259 fleaH6550? 159The LordH3068 therefore be judgeH1781 and decideH8199 betweenH996 10you and me; and may He seeH7200 and 11pleadH7378 my causeH7379 and 12deliverH8199 me from your handH3027.”
16When DavidH1732 had finishedH3615 speakingH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 to SaulH7586, SaulH7586 saidH559, “13Is thisH2088 your voiceH6963, my sonH1121 DavidH1732?” Then SaulH7586 liftedH5375 up his voiceH6963 and weptH1058. 1714He saidH559 to DavidH1732, “You are moreH4480 righteousH6662 thanH4480 I; for 15you have dealtH1580 wellH2899 with me, while I have dealtH1580 wickedlyH7463 with you. 18You have declaredH5046 todayH3117 that you have doneH6213 goodH2899 to me, that 16the LordH3068 deliveredH5462 me into your handH3027 and yet you did not killH2026 me.
