1 Samuel 24:6-10

6So he saidH559 to his menH376, “1FarH2486 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 2persuadedH8156 his menH376 with these wordsH1697 and did not allowH5414 them to riseH6965 up againstH413 SaulH7586. And SaulH7586 aroseH6965, 3leftH4480 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, 4DavidH1732 bowedH6915 with his faceH639 to the groundH776 and prostratedH7812 himself. 9DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “WhyH4100 do you listenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of menH120, sayingH559, ‘BeholdH2009, DavidH1732 seeksH1245 5to harmH7463 you’? 106BeholdH2009, thisH2088 dayH3117 your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 that the LordH3068 had givenH5414 you todayH3117 into my handH3027 in the caveH4631, and 7some saidH559 to killH2026 you, but my eye had pityH2347 on you; and I saidH559, ‘I will not stretchH7971 out my handH3027 against my lordH113, for he is the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899.’
