1 Samuel 24:1-8

11Now 2whenH3512 SaulH7586 returnedH7725 from pursuingH310 the PhilistinesH6430, 3it was reportedH5046 to him, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, DavidH1732 is in the wildernessH4057 of EngediH5872.” 2Then 4SaulH7586 tookH3947 threeH7969 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376 from allH3605 IsraelH3478 and wentH1980 to searchH1245 for DavidH1732 and his menH376 in frontH6440 of the RocksH6697 of the MountainH3277 GoatsH3277. 3And he cameH935 to the sheepfoldsH6629H1448 on the wayH1870, whereH8033 there was a caveH4631; and SaulH7586 5wentH935 inH935 to 6relieveH5526H7272 himself. Now 7DavidH1732 and his menH376 were sittingH3427 in the innerH3411 recessesH3411 of the caveH4631. 4Then David’sH1732 menH376 saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, 8this is the dayH3117 of whichH834 the LordH3068 saidH559 to you, ‘BeholdH2009; 9I am about to handH5414H3027 your enemyH340 overH5414 to you, and you shall doH6213 to him as it seemsH3190 goodH3190 10to you.’” Then DavidH1732 gotH6965 upH6965 and cutH3772 offH3772 the edgeH3671 of Saul’sH7586 robeH4598 secretlyH3909. 5But it cameH1961 aboutH1961 afterwardH310H3651 that 11David’sH1732 12conscienceH3820 botheredH5221 him becauseH5921H834 he had cutH3772 offH3772 the edgeH3671 of Saul’sH7586 robe. 6So he saidH559 to his menH376, “13FarH2486 be it from me becauseH4480 of the LordH3068 that I would doH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697 to my lordH113, the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899, to reachH7971 outH7971 with my handH3027 against him, sinceH3588 he is the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899.” 7And DavidH1732 rebukedH8156 his menH376 with these wordsH1697 and did not allowH5414 them to riseH6965 upH6965 againstH413 SaulH7586. And SaulH7586 gotH6965 upH6965, 14leftH4480 the caveH4631, and wentH1980 on his wayH1870.

8AfterwardH310H3651, however, DavidH1732 gotH6965 upH6965 and wentH3318 outH3318 of the caveH4631, and calledH7121 afterH310 SaulH7586, sayingH559, “My lordH113 the kingH4428!” And when SaulH7586 lookedH5027 behindH310 him, 15DavidH1732 bowedH6915 with his faceH639 to the groundH776 and prostratedH2331 himself.
