1 Samuel 24:10-13

10 1BeholdH2009, thisH2088 dayH3117 your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 that the LordH3068 had handedH5414 H3027 you overH5414 to me todayH3117 in the caveH4631, and 2someone saidH559 to killH2026 you, but 3I sparedH2347 you; and I saidH559, ‘I will not reachH7971 outH7971 with my handH3027 against my lordH113, becauseH3588 he is the Lord’sH3068 anointedH4899.’

11So, 4my fatherH1, lookH7200! IndeedH1571, lookH7200 at the edgeH3671 of your robeH4598 in my handH3027! For by the fact that I cutH3772 offH3772 the edgeH3671 of your robeH4598 but did not killH2026 you, knowH3045 and understandH7200 that thereH369 isH369 noH369 evilH7463 or 5rebellionH6588 in my handsH3027, and I have not sinnedH2398 against you, though you 6are lyingH6658 inH6658 waitH6658 for my lifeH5315, to takeH3947 it.

12 7May the LordH3068 judgeH8199 betweenH996 8you and me, and may the LordH3068 takeH5358 vengeanceH5358 on you for me; but my handH3027 shall not be against you.

13As the proverbH4912 of the ancientsH6931 saysH559, ‘9OutH3318 of the wickedH7563 comesH3318 wickednessH7562’; but my handH3027 shall not be against you.
