1 Samuel 24:7-11

7DavidH1732 1persuadedH8156 his menH376 with these wordsH1697 and did not allowH5414 them to riseH6965 up againstH413 SaulH7586. And SaulH7586 aroseH6965, 2leftH4480 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, 3DavidH1732 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 4to harmH7463 you’? 105BeholdH2009, thisH2088 dayH3117 your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 that the LordH3068 had givenH5414 you todayH3117 into my handH3027 in the caveH4631, and 6some 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.’ 11Now, 7my 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 8rebellionH6588 in my handsH3027, and I have not sinnedH2398 against you, though you 9are lyingH6658 in waitH6658 for my lifeH5315 to takeH3947 it.
