1 Samuel 24:4-8

4The menH376 of DavidH1732 saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, 1this is the dayH3117 of whichH834 the LordH3068 saidH559 to you, ‘BeholdH2009; 2I am about to giveH5414 your enemyH340 into your handH3027, and you shall doH6213 to him as it seemsH3190 goodH3190 3to you.’” Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and cutH3772 offH3772 the edgeH3671 of Saul’sH7586 robeH4598 secretlyH3909. 5It cameH1961 about afterwardH310H3651 that 4David’sH1732 5conscienceH3820 botheredH5221 him becauseH5921H834 he had cutH3772 offH3772 the edgeH3671 of Saul’sH7586 robe. 6So he saidH559 to his menH376, “6FarH2486 be it from me becauseH4480 of the LordH3068 that I should doH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697 to my lordH113, the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899, to stretchH7971 out my handH3027 against him, sinceH3588 he is the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899.” 7DavidH1732 7persuadedH8156 his menH376 with these wordsH1697 and did not allowH5414 them to riseH6965 up againstH413 SaulH7586. And SaulH7586 aroseH6965, 8leftH4480 the caveH4631, and wentH1980 on his wayH1870.

8Now afterwardH310H3651 DavidH1732 aroseH6965 and wentH3318 out of the caveH4631 and calledH7121 afterH310 SaulH7586, sayingH559, “My lordH113 the kingH4428!” And when SaulH7586 lookedH5027 behindH310 him, 9DavidH1732 bowedH6915 with his faceH639 to the groundH776 and prostratedH7812 himself.
