1 Samuel 24:8-15
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, 1DavidH1732 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 2to harmH7463 you’? 103BeholdH2009, thisH2088 dayH3117 your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 that the LordH3068 had givenH5414 you todayH3117 into my handH3027 in the caveH4631, and 4some 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, 5my 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 6rebellionH6588 in my handsH3027, and I have not sinnedH2398 against you, though you 7are lyingH6658 in waitH6658 for my lifeH5315 to takeH3947 it. 128May the LordH3068 judgeH8199 betweenH996 9you 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, ‘10Out 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? 11A deadH4191 dogH3611, 12a singleH259 fleaH6550? 1513The LordH3068 therefore be judgeH1781 and decideH8199 betweenH996 14you and me; and may He seeH7200 and 15pleadH7378 my causeH7379 and 16deliverH8199 me from your handH3027.”
